From what I understand the truck has 179k(somewhere close to that) but the motor has either been rebuilt or had a lot of work done to it. It looks clean as a dang pin under the hood,the front of the motor has definately had some work because you can see some RTV seal that squeezed out a few places. Might just need a real good tune-up and timing checked. Haven't looked at the carb though. I'm looking at this truck,my buddy owns it and about got him talked into selling it to me :clap2:  :clap2:  It runs like a champ out on the road but 70 is all she'll push,cept downhill with a tail wind :ha_ha:

What kind of mileage should the truck be pushing saying with somewhat newer motor work and just been basicly took care of and pretty much stock. Looking into starting to college and would love to have this truck to drive back and forth and me and another buddy split the gas bill. Maybe a little suspension work and some 33s would come around after I got any bugs worked out :shhh:
