What should I be looking for as telltale signs of something being “not quite right”, I don’t take shortcuts so I find it harder to anticipate them. Thanks for any help.

There is indeed something "not quite right." The price.
I suppose if it's been completely gone over, engine rebuild, fresh EVERYTHING, essentially it's a new car, maybe it's worth the price.
However: If I had 19k to spend I'd rather spend 10k on a truck and have 9k to add/modify it. Since you understand their reliability and working on them I'd also be more inclined to say that you'd be better off with something that costs less, even if that's at the trade-off that it's not as "perfect" as the example you're looking at for 19k.
Additionally you could find something cheaper in SoCal, fly out, drive back, and still save money but make memories.
