Re: Rare Moment
So how many times has that happened do you reckon? Mine rolled over a few thousand miles before I bought it, but have no idea how many times. Met a guy here who bought his 66 original owner, says he has over 600k on it.

Re: Rare Moment
I tend to believe this is the first time for this truck, but there is no telling.
Never seen one do that before, so was kinda neat.

Re: Rare Moment
Nice. I have paperwork to show that mine has less than 2000 miles in the past 17 years, so its possible mine has also only rolled over once.

Re: Rare Moment
2000 miles in 17 years? What's the story behind that one?

Re: Rare Moment
Only truck I've put that kind of mileage on is my '88 C2500. That's pretty cool you've gotten that many miles behind the wheel of an old truck.

Re: Rare Moment
As far as I can gather, the guy ran into some health problems and then money problems, and the truck sat untouched until I arrived.

Re: Rare Moment
Cool! My best odometer story is pulling into the driveway for the first time with a newly acquired vintage vehicle, and having the numbers on the odometer exactly matching the street address of it's new home. Weird!

Re: Rare Moment
Gotta love those moments.
I was going down the freeway and my truck was at the 54,998 and I was waiting for the 55,000 to turn. Well the odometer broke right at 54,999.9, Been that way ever since.
