i think it depends on your area and climate. we bought my dads '99 explorer limited V8 in 2008 with 17k miles on it. now it has 33,9xx and doesn't leak a drop of anything runs and drives like a new truck. i dont understand why some people are so scared of extra low mile cars/trucks. that was not the first very low mile car/truck we have bought with great success.

amazing looking truck, i've seen some very nice low mile pre-97's but that has to be the nicest and lowest mile. lowest i ever saw was a '96 crew cab 460 4x4/auto with 39k on it about 2 years ago.
When I got my 97 F-350 in 2009 it had 29K on it, (still had the original Firestone AT's on it) and now it has 60K doesn't drip a drop.

173,000 miles on it, with more stuff done than I can list.
To name a few things...

06 Axle swap, Climate Control, Power seat out of an F150, Deluxe Visors out of an F150, Auto-dim mirror out of a Crown Vic, Bronco Signal Mirrors, and the list goes on and on...

If you want to know more, reply, and ill give you the whole list lol
What kind of rear bumper is that? ive seen em on other trucks and want one but never knew what they were called.
 
That is a great looking truck TractorMaster96! I love the silver and chrome look. The other stuff parked around it rocks too.

On buying stuff with low miles and some years on them.
The problem is the years on them. My Wife and I have bought / have 4 vehicles with low miles but they are older. Few miles but more years = rust outs and age replacements. Brake lines, sub frames, brackets, brake backing and splash shields, hoses, gas tanks and many brake parts. They all die / rust out just from age. Most still had the OEM filters, belts, hoses, pads and shoes.

Not even remotely funny. ;) Rain, Fog, More rain and dense fog, misting, more fog (25-50' visibility at times). O yeah, and it's 50 too. Did I mention it sucks outside?:guns:

Well to make you even more bummed out Mark I did a second round this afteroon which accounts for about 25% of the cost of the DXT.... 3 more days like today and it paid for itself.Thumbs Up
 
Umm , sublime68charge. Could we see the truck in day light? A rear end picture in the garage is just a tease!

When you get a chance from going out and playing in the snow and paying for your new DXT and bringing in the franklins shoot me a pm back. No rush on it.
