Re: Could this be true? if so, who got it if your on the board?

It's possible, but the only thing I will say is that 75% of the trucks that people claim to be under 100K are not. When I bought the Green '67 two years ago, the guy swore up and down that the 47.000 on the odometer was original miles. He was the second owner. He had repainted the truck but I saw it before it was repainted and it was pretty nice. Interior was mint. He repainted it because the old guy that owned it had scraped the pass side up on the garage door and he couldn't get the paint to match. It had all of the original paperwork and owners manual. I was going through the owners manual one day and in the back the PO had kept a log of the service on the truck. It had turned over 100k in 1983....

I showed it to the guy I bought it from and he couldn't believe it. Moral of the story, just because it looks like it could have less than 100k doesn't mean it does. It depends on the care it has had and whether it spent it's life indoors or outdoors.

Sorry about the book.
