    If it's really rusty and they paint over it you can tell. It will be all pock market up, you'd easily see it.

    It's not 375k it's 1 mil 375.

    Out of the 3 pics doesn't look bad. Need more pics

    There’s a one on the engine pile up the road that split a bull gear and shed a few teeth. Destroyed an in-framed engine with 120,000km on it.

    At first, I thought the same thing but then I realized it's a day cab. Isn't that a lot of miles for a day cab?

    I just caught that it's a daycab. Could be actual then. The 99 we got a few years back only had 500k on it

    375k but Probably has 50,000 hours on it, usually when a truck owner buys a truck for themselves to sit they go with something a little nicer then a freightliner but you never know I guess

    Needs 4 air bags right off the top since they sprayed everything

    Not my choice for a personal, but my hope is to eventually get out of it and put someone in and get another and rinse and repeat…who knows.

    It has a lot of the specs I was looking for…engine, rears, HP, torque…price is decent. Mileage….TBD lol

    Just out of curiosity about how badly would the dimpling be that I should be worried? I mean I can clearly see some in some of the pictures which I’ll upload when I get a chance but I’m just wondering how much is too much?

    Was it just the original frame paint that flaked off or surface rust or has the rot actually penetrated the frame and if so, how far? Is it throughout the frame or just in one area? If you can take a screwdriver and knock off chunks of rust that expose bare metal I'd be concerned.

    It's not a lot of miles if the day cab was slip seated and ran 24 hours a day. When we ran pneumatics we ran six days a week, five hundred miles a day. That comes out to better than 150K miles a year. Lots of idle time and lots time running in a dirty air environment...cement plants, ready mix yards etc.
     
    spindrift, spsauerland and Judge Thank this.

    Yeah with hose/pump see how many hours are showing and X that by 60.

    say 10000 hours x 60 = 600,000 miles equivalent
