Default 1997 2500 5.7

I might be going to look at a 1997 2500 with the 5.7 and four by four. Transmission was rebuilt for replaced last October but I don't know how many miles are on it now. Truck has around 200,000.
Anyway, what things do I need to pay attention to especially that are common issues with the gmt400?

With its age and mileage everything is a potential issue. I'd just make sure it doesn't have significant rust/frame rot and roll the dice.

Also maintenance records if available are very important.
