Don't get hung up on hours or miles too much. They're important but its not a true indicator of vehicle condition. Have it looked over by a 3rd party, get oil samples and run it on a dyno to check performance and blowby. Its always a crapshoot buying used so you want to be as informed as possible when you make the call to purchase or pass.

If I’m not mistaken it’s length of the hood and axle location between the two and a few other available options for the classic xl which I could be wrong.
just saying if it’s commanding the price of a 132 it should be a full 132.
my Cascadia was priced as an Evo because it had some aftermarket cosmetics of an evolution and I’m sure the dealer would have not cared if I didn’t bring it up, but in reality it was a basic 125, the price difference was about 12k in retail value.Soon2BeOwnerOperator and Rideandrepair Thank this. -

Fld was offered in aero set back 120, aero set forward 120, severe duty set back 120. And 120 set forward classic. Then the 132 classic square hood, and 132 classic xl.
Don't forget all the FLD 112 configurations also.
In those years, if you ordered and paid for it. You could have about any combination you wanted built. Most all options were available on any body style.
Swifty and Werner had piles of them with detroits and cats. All 9 speed convertible eatons. It was built as a 13 but not plumbed. When they sold them to owner ops or market, they added plumbing and changed shift controls "converting" them to 13 speed. Marketing ploy, they didn't want the door slammers to have them, but wanted resale.ducnut, Soon2BeOwnerOperator, LoneRanger and 1 other person Thank this. -
