My 85 has 135K original.  Miles doesn't mean a lot just as long as the previous owner took care of it and can show you records.  My $.02

I agree that the miles can mean very little on these trucks.  It's all about how it was taken care of.  Compare a beat up working "farm truck" with low miles, compared to an easy highway high miles rig. 

My 2000 Honda Passport (wife's daily driver and family hauler), has 149K
My 1996 Honda Civic daily driver to/from work, has 179k

My 1974 K20 has ONLY 146K on original non-rebuilt motor, so it's lowest of our main driving rigs.

I'd go across country in any of these rigs.

well i got half way there and the guy called back and asked if i could match $1000, so i showed up and the guyy already had it on a bed..to good to be true, got an email for a 77 with 80,000 in southern alberta. you can tell its a saskatchewan special lol  ( lotsa gravel roads and no sidesteps)  this one is $600.. call me pety but every model ive seen has that big checker rear bumper, is that a all over option??
