Is this bad or just what I have to expect?

Lol yep it's hard to find perfect. And as far as your own truck goes, I get. I just sold a 1965 Dodge Coronet A990 I had for 30 years. It had a factory 13.5:1 race Hemi with the cross ram, dual factory 770 CFM Holy carbs. I raced that car for years up and down souther Ca. Last time the engine was rebuilt was early 80s. And it still shook the ground and ran awesome the day I sold it a year ago. Some time's it's a combination of equipment and the guy that's driving.
In my case, what can I do? I don't own a laptop and Im not sure even after watching all of Rawze's videos I'm good enough to not buy my money pit. I did talk to the local Pete dealer. And told them if I end up buying a truck from them I want to pull the valve cover before I sign. They said it would be on my dime.
