How do I find out what year the kit was made?
Is there any thing general that I should know ?
Things I should avoid ?


Thanks in advance for any info and help !
Is the body aluminum? (Autokraft was only made in aluminum)
What is the "AK" Autocraft chassis number? (production/chassis numbers can narrow down build dates).
Anything to know, stick with the basics, interior condition, exterior condition, mechanicals, originality, and of course, does it still have the original top and tonneau cover with it and if so, what condition are they in.
