With under 60K miles on a 53 year old truck that is less than 1,132 miles a year. I make more miles than that each year just walking around the outside of my house! Lol.
Let's see a picture of your seat upholstery. It should be original and in near mint condition if under 60K miles.
Thanks

Do not believe the miles shown on the odometer, as it reads to 99999.9 .. then returns to ZERO!
For decades before it became a felony, crooked used car dealers rolled the odometers mileage back, another reason you cannot believe the miles.
More than likely, your truck has at least 160,000 miles, or maybe more...

It was owned by a local fuel company that closed in the late 80s. It was primarily used for moving fuel from one building to the next. When they closed up it was left to the elements in Michigan. A few years back one of the sons sold the property and gave the truck to one of the mechanics, he fixed it up a little. My neighbor bought it off him and found out after that he was unable to drive a three on the tree so I bought it. So far it all checks out. It's old and it's beat on and it's mine ☺️. I have it at my shop until I get seat belts and the brake lights sorted out(I'd be to tempted to drive it if it were in my driveway) . I'm going out to work on it tomorrow and will definitely take a bunch of pictures. Busy week for me. I was wondering about ditching the oil air filter thing too, I'm still doing a little research. This purchase wasn't planned lol.
