this was my first truck when i was in HS..88 xlt 2.9l v6 5spd 2wd. picked it up for $125 from friend of a friend. the thing may look like hell but the thing sure did run good for how old it was and all the miles on it. i loved just beatin on the truck and hitting stuff with out a care in the world lol my dad has takin some parts off it as you can proly tell but lot of goodtimes with the truck..so figured id snap some pics for ol time sake and let you guys might get a kick out of it.
- mistake on my part not sure of the miles on the truck..proly around 150-2k

 

how did it die?

 

x2

 

How do you know it has 340k on it?

 

it didnt really die..just kinda took it off the road and bought a new truck. had endless problems im 99% sure the thing had that many miles on it. towards the end had to put bit of money into it,whole clutch assembly, new plugs, wires, distributor, etc to keep it running. the motor always missed never ran on all cylinders, stalled quite a bit. even wires to the starter fried or something happened to it that had to run own electrical to starter and get it running..was rotting out on the fire wall even, had to weld and fix it cuz the pedal assembly was gettin pushed thru, thing was such a rot box. im pretty sure it had that many miles..dont know why it wouldnt..look at the truck and how old it is..

 

Well the odometer only reads 34k. There's no way you'd know its rolled over 3 times unless you've driven the truck since it was new.....

 

how do you figure it only has 34k on it? there are 6 numbers. 340529..which would be 300k. or am i missing something?

 

You are missing something. The white square at the end is the number after the decimal. 34052.9 miles is what it reads.

 

hm didnt even relise that..so it only goes up to 99k and rolls around again..weird..thanks for clearing that up. ill fix it

 

What's with the gap in between the cab and bed. Looks a little off.

 

cab mounts rotted out.

 

My dad's has around 280k on it. Known the owner since it was new, and we're just waiting on it to roll over again

 

my dad had one that had 25000 on it when he sold it, still ran like a champ
