There are certainly plenty of other trucks around with fewer miles, but when the miles go down, the price goes up dramatically.

I loved the Cummins in the Dodge (and the leg room). The body just didn't stay together (doors were rusting, the underbody was rusting, etc.).
Thoughts?

I would not have been scared of that truck. Had a 99 f-350 with and automatic that I had pulled a 48' living quarter trailer with and never had any problems. Traded it in on a 2003 F-350 that I still have today. Love my truck
