Truck For Sale In My Area
Looks like a real nice truck. Claims to be a one owner with very low original miles. About 15 miles from where I live.

Re: Truck For Sale In My Area
yeah, I wonder about the history of the truck. I may go and check it out if it has not already sold. I can't buy it, but it would make someone a nice project.

Re: Truck For Sale In My Area
Looks pretty good if you can believe the mileage. Sure isn't very much information in the description. Also depends on how much rust it has and, oh yea! you're gonna need a windshield wiper knob!

Re: Truck For Sale In My Area
That`s a nice one.I wish I could run down and buy it.I`d venture to say that odometer hasn`t flipped.It wouldn`t have such a decent body and it looks like the original seat cover.

Simply put...if one claims the truck has 63,000 orignal miles...when in reality it has 163,000 miles...then the 63,000 isn't orignal. You got to remember the milage only goes to 99,999 miles and then it turns over to zero miles. So you would add 100,000 miles to the 63,000 and thus...163,000 miles. Looks simple enough to me.

Re: Truck For Sale In My Area
Original miles would mean original motor,it just states that it has 63,000 miles.Which means that the miles may be on a rebuild or a replacement motor.At least thats the way I understand it.

Re: Truck For Sale In My Area
Interesting point and good point 1970 Bowtie...so if a truck had 50,000 original miles but the engine was replaced...would it be an original 50,000mile truck. Not trying to be a smart a%% but I never thought of it this way. I am not sure what the correct answer would be. Lets get some more it. Good response.

Re: Truck For Sale In My Area
Not to be picky, but the owner doesn't state anywhere, that I could see, "original miles", but he implies it by saying, "only" 63,000 miles - and he should know if it's a one-owner truck. So I would call that original miles, and most likely with a 327, original motor.

The owner says: "This is a One Owner 1968 Pickup truck with Only 63,000 miles" which does lead one to think it is 63,000 original miles. If you look at the floor in the cab...it doesn't look all that worn.

Re: Truck For Sale In My Area
The bottom line is, that looks like a pretty good deal on that truck. I love the 327/SM465 combo. (First year for SM 465's, I believe.)
