it does look clean. not to fond of the canopy though.
it would be nice if the odometer hasnt been tampered with.
i spose you could check the ball joints, they would be close to needing replacing at around those miles. would there be any other tell tale signs of more more miles than quoted. maybe the leather seats would be a give away to, but they look good from what the pics show.

Don't know about the ball joint part, mine has 130,000 and still has what I would believe are the originals in it and are tight.

thats good you must have some tough ones in there, mine and everyone i have spoken to over here have replaced theirs at around 100-150km's. i had 150km's on mine and only noticed them when i had it at my mates garage giving it a once over in his pit, when we jacked it up i watched the front wheels drop about 10mm or so. LOL thats where it stayed untill i got a new set in and fitted them a few days later.

I've heard this from a lot of Ford owners. When I got the state inspection last summer I had to use a different garage than usual, he said he would bet they were bad as soon as he looked at them, ( I never let anyone touch my truck) I said if it needs them he can put them in, if they are good it free inspection. He lost.

i noticed in your sig that you say its rust free, is it mainly the northern states that are bad for rust, and is it because of the salt that is put on the roads for the snow and ice.
i dont think i could handle my car rusting up because of the salted roads i would have to move. or coat everthing underneath in fish oil or something...
i recon i would cry watching my pride and joy rust away before my eyes

It is very hard to see my truck rusting. It's the salt on the roads in northern states. I'll keep throwing money at it to keep it on the road for a while. At some point I have to give up though.
Fish oil? I'd have every coyote, cat, raccoon and Opossum in the county in my yard at night licking it clean. If it weren't for the fighting and eating each other that would be a pretty efficient undercarriage cleaner to market.

If anyone is truely concerned with the miles, run the VIN number through a service like carfax. I expect they are accurate.

The references to "old man" and "65 years old" cracks me up.

I'm 64, and although I don't beat my truck I don't drive it like an "old man".
I don't think I will be drivig it like an "old man" next year either.

My ball joints are doing just fine, as well as the truck's.
