Re: Actual miles on your truck

When I bought my '72 K20 , the PO told me that the truck had set for a lot of years. As I'm driving it now,,,, I think he was being straight with me. Every time I drive it it seems like another seal starts leaking. The odometer showed just under 64k when I got it. I've put about 700 miles on it ,,, have replaced front diff cover gasket,both rear wheel seals, both rear axle seals,power steering pump, and rebuilt the steering sector. Now I see that the rear pinion seal is dripping along with the rear transfer case seal.
I've also replaced all of the hoses in the engine compartment due to dry rot.
It must have set in the sun because the dash pad was nothing more that the 2 metal strips that bolt to the dash. Altho,, he must have had the seat covered,, it's not original but it is in pretty good shape.

When it all comes down to it I don't care if it's got 64k miles or 640,000 miles,, I think it's a good truck and I enjoy it !!
