Let us know what your mpg is.
I think all 3 spoke wheels should be melted.
Not sure on the miles. Can't remember what the odometer says. I would say it is 100,000 plus what ever the odometer says. Still has the factory duals on it from what I can tell. It is a pretty tight truck. Steering is tight and the engine has very good throttle response and low end torque. It only has first gear. I took it out in front of the house and from about a 5-10 roll I stood on it and left a set of posi marks so I was a bit impressed with it. I don't normally drive my vehicles hard but when I get one I will see how it will run under pressure so I can see weak points. Although it does seem to smoke a little more than I like. I don't remember my 6.2 K30 smoking like this. It gets a little better once warmed up but still smokes more than I like and stinks more than my K30 did.

These rims must be like the old cab visors. Although I don't mind either one it seems like others don't like them at all. Lol.
