also an engine dont need a rebuild after only 139000 miles i can see if he upgraded it but not by wear.
139k for a 70's truck engine sounds about right to me. I know some people have way more and I assume they more or less babied them.
But I now people that used their trucks as trucks and did all the proper maintenace and got less than 100k?
When I bought my '85 K5 that had a manual tranny, it had a new(er) crate engine with 40k on it and only had 160k on the odometer.The guy I bought it from worked at a GMC dealer but had only owned it for about 7-8 years (this was in '98 or '99).
