Yours would be the exception to the mileage question, and there are a few. It is usually obvious when you look at the vehicle.
In general, I think most folks who buy a CUCV and think they are getting a 6k mile truck (a recent SS example) because of the odometer reading are fooling themselves! Because of convenience, CUCV's were generally driven a lot more than other field vehicles, so the ones that indicate 70-100k over 30 years are more likely to be accurate. Thats only 2300-3300 miles a year. I know we were putting mileage like that on them back in the day.
I can reasonably think my M1009s were
probably right, one indicated 96+k when bought, the other something like 94+k.
No way to tell though.
But perhaps they reconstitute at 100,000 miles, like a phoenix! If so, one of mine just became brand new again as it only has 1 mile on the clock as of last week...
Likewise, I've seen Deuces and other big trucks being sold with the claim of something like "only 2900 original miles". But they have an hour meter, and often if you do the math, they must have achieved those miles at something like an average of 178 miles per hour, with no idling time....
I really don't want a deuce thats been driven that fast for that long..
One big truck I watched at auction recently went really high because of indicated mileage around 1k. If you averaged the miles to the hour meter, it was achieved at something like .24 miles per hour. Thats a LOT of idling time....and it looked like it had been maintained by a family of raccoons. You decide.
All that said, the usual caveats apply to everything I utter- your mileage may vary, employees are not eligible to win, contents may settle during shipment, and there is a 10% restocking fee...
Cheers
