    We need pics of the odometer!
    Those older ones rolled over at 100K, you have a 6 digit odometer right? ;)

    yes its six digit odometer, the truck was sitting in an old ladies garage for 17 years, she lives right next to me and the first day she took it out to sell i bought it right on the spot! For some reason im not able to put pictures up on photobucket either.

    You can pretty much put any mirror you like on there. I like the look of 60s-70s muscle car mirrors

    As for the torsions, do a search in the tech section. i think it was SDyota that did a how to on there.

    Technically it's a 6 digit, if you count the 0.1 mile wheel. Roll over is at 100k.

    I believe you, just giving you hell about it. That is a very rare find, let's see where you go with it.

    With under 60K miles, that thing will take you very, very far.
