Okay, it's a 1970. That means it only has the 5-digit odometer- how could they know that it has EXACTLY 719,713 miles? My guess: they meant to say it has 71,971.3 miles showing on the odometer. I'm not saying that the truck couldn't have gone 700,000 miles, I just question how they came up with such an exact figure.

I'll tell you what: if they can verify it really does have that many miles, I'll buy it right now. A Ford truck with that mileage belongs in my showroom!

Maybe they just counted how many times it rolled over? It seems unlikely that it would have 700,000..

Well, since it is 1970, that would mean that they would have driven it only about 21,000 a year, which when you think of 21,000 per year, it dosen't seem so unreasonable. But still, it's hard to imagine that they would rack up 700,000

Wow that truck looks nice! It has to be 71k miles, that is in far too nice of shape to have 719k miles. It would be a steal at the price it's at.. hmmm....
