recall the reason for rejecting it after corresponding with the seller.
Probably because of miles.

A little high for the miles but looks fairly decent, could probably

Incorrect, the late 70s GM diesels we're junk. By '82 they had figured it out.
Today you rarely see them but square body GM trucks rusted bad so they're
relatively rare now anyway, it's no big surprise the least common of them are
quite rare...
