Even so, 30K miles on a farm are hard miles. Hows it look underneath? All the cab supports, mounts etc. in good shape? Also, check the bolt channels inside the rear wheel well tubs. A truck doesn't necessarily have to be moving all its life to rust out.

My 71 4x4 has 60,000 miles, and it isn't a farm truck, the motor has never been apart, I found a good way to tell if your truck has more miles than it might say, I took my truck in to get one back spring rearched, and the spring man took the leaf apart, and said to me this must be a low mileage truck, I said why do you ask, he said you see where theses leafs over lap each other, on a higher mileage truck the end of the leaf wears a good size groove in the leaf above it, theses are like new, and they have never been out

That V6 will run forever. You really can't break them. They're modified from a diesel design and everything in them is super heavy-duty. I had one in a 66 GMC and it got 14 mpg uphill or downhill, load or no load.

I don't know exactly how many miles my truck has on it but I do know that I have only put about 13-14K miles on it in the approximately 18 years that I have had it. It was an old truck when I got it and I bought it just to be a 3rd vehicle - sort of a backup and junk hauler locally. I have had it as far as 200 miles from home but only twice in that 18 years. Mostly it sits - outside- and the paint has about had it just from age. Low low miles is not impossible but one should look real real close for signs to justify the claim.
