WIMBLEDON WHITE WITH CANDYAPPLE RED DELUXE TUTONE
Regular cab with 8 foot box.
Purchased in Spokane, WA and driven to Moscow, 85 miles.
I am thinking odometer is actual mileage as truck has not been used much and its condition, but could be +100,000 but I doubt it.
Here is story from guy I bought it from:
"I traded my boat for it a year ago and the guy I got it from was the second owner. The first owner was a farmer who used it when he first bought it but after a few years it was rarely used. Apparently he just past being a little over 90 years old I think. The truck has been down there it's whole life until the few months that I had brought it up here." He trailered it and did not drive it. "down there" is Moscow, ID where it is again, now. Moscow is a fairly small town.
Have a second owner receipt dated 9/9/09 with 52,594 miles on it.
Starts right now, runs and drives well.
Truck is all original except owner just before me changed; door panels and armrests to black, have original reds; sun visors to black, have original reds; wheels to 1983's I think, have originals; he replaced the door sill plates, have originals; he applied chrome trim lower body panels.
Door handle cups are new.
Floor liner is new.
Insulation under floor liner is new.
Head liner is new.
Dash lens is new.
Dome lamp lens is new.
Have original window sticker; 48 GVW package, trans warner T-18 4-spd, 1650 lb rear spring.
Have original owners manual and all inserts.
Factory trailer plug receptacle, quick change ball with three sizes.
New tires, king pins, king bolts, alignment 3/14.
Brakes, rotors, reman calipers, seals, bearings, front brake hoses 11/09.
Very new truck cover from LMC.
Three like new snow tires included.
Bug shield, currently behind seat.
Center console.
Stant Lev-R-Vent radiator cap is new.
Super Start Platinum Battery Part Number: 34/78PLT, glass pack, $171.99 at O'Reilly 4/14.
New fuel pump 12/14.
Fresh remanufactured carburetor 10/15/15.
Changed transmission oil 10/21/15.
Fresh remanufactured master cylinder 11/10/15.
Fresh remanufactured starter 11/18/15.

Now, why mileage could be +100,000 but I doubt it;
Oil leaks, in 9 months about half a quart, drips on drive though, stick stays steady, oil scent and consistency stay steady, no fuel or antifreeze scent. A Ford Truck guy at O'Reilly stated, oil leaks from the intake manifold are common with the 360 and would happen before 100,000. A craigslist responder said old Ford odometers would go uneven over 100,000, numbers are even. Oil has coated much of engine therefore gunky.
Wondering if engines resting for long periods develop leaks.
While installing reman carb, torqued intake and valve cover bolts, all but a few intake bolts needed some tightening.
Engines resting for long periods can develop exhaust leaks, which it has at left rear of engine looking from front of vehicle.
Power steering fluid stays steady.
When cold, shifting is stiff.
Right turn signal sticks.
Of course that woven seat material is coming apart on drivers side.
