Low miles!?!

I have a ford 360 with around 80k on it. I was wondering is that low or high? Do I need an overhaul?

Low mileage. As for rebuild, does it need one? If it's running okay I wouldn't mess with it.
My 360 had exactly 300,000 miles on it when I swapped it for another.
Also, are you going by the odometer for the mileage? The odometers on these trucks start back at zero after 99,999.9 miles so, unless you personally know the history of the truck, it could be 80K, 180K, 280k etc.

Good for you. It's hard to find any good vehicle that's been well treated and maintained, but not impossible.

80k is low for how old it is especially if it was well maintained

If the numbers are not in a straight line and kinda jagged, it means they rolled over 100,000.

Good to know, my 76 F250 has 52000. I think its original mileage, just based on condition. I would think it would be way more torn up if it was 152000. My numbers are straight, but my dad swore up and down it couldn't be 52000.

I always heard they would be unlevel and raggedy if someone had rolled the odo back.
