In 2002 I got a 79 ford F100 from a neighbor. A the time it had 38,000 original miles on it.He bought it used in 82, and just used it around his place, I don't think it went to town more than once a year for annual an oil change and state inspection.
Mileage should not be the only thing to look at, however. When I got it, it had everything wrong that can happen from just sitting in an unheated garage. I tore the brake lines and fuel lines off with my bare hands, replaced all four springs and shocks, and did a four wheel brake job. The block was flushed, the radiator has been recored, and the new coolant will still turn rust red within a month after it has been installed.
I have put another 25,000 hard miles on it, plowing snow and hauling hay wagons, not to mention teaching two boys to drive. The cab and frame are getting pretty bad now, and I may have to retire it soon.
