how old are the tires? Where at in east or? Would it do 800 miles without issues?

It depends what you consider an issue. I drove it 200 miles home the day I bought it. It never skipped a beat. Top speed is probably 60 mph so I wouldn't be in a hurry to travel that 800 miles but I think the truck would make it. The tires have been on it since I bought it. I'm not sure how old they are. But they all hold air and don't seem to have flat spots. The truck came from prairie city or. It is now in silverton or.

Any big cracks in the sidewalls? How bad of gas milage does it get? More pics.

Here are a few more pics. Tires look real good. I can't remember exactly what I got for milage on the 200 mile trip. But I think it was around 12. But again 55 mph is about all the faster I was going. I didn't travel on any freeways.

Mike, what 6 cyl is it? Any guess on overall miles? Brakes ok?

It is a bd 269 according to the tag on the kick panel. Odometer says 26648. I'm guessing that is around just once. The farm that I bought it off of just used it to haul grain from idaho to prairie city.
The brakes work great. I drove it home from prairie city. Then a few little short trips around here. A couple of parades. I wouldn't hesitate to hop in it and go again.
