Probably would be worth picking up just to sell honestly. A lot of guys looking for them that do vintage looking stuff.

Never ever seen a color like that on an 80's square before. I wonder if that's the same Fern Green that was used on 80's GM cars.

Huh, looks like a color Ford would use. Lol, that ride has the same shifter knob as I have. I hate that knob!

Here's a rare find! One owner with 29,000 miles. Although, being that old and considering the OD doesn't have room for anything above 99,999 miles, I would venture to guess it could have 129,000 miles on it.

I think even more exceptional than the possibility of low mileage, is the fact that it's a '73. Those disappeared from my part of the country so long ago, that I'm not even familiar witht the trim on the dash and gauge bezels.

Wow, is clean and does look original to a 73 though. I'd say there's ways to figure out of it's true 29,000 miles. I'd be looking at brake pads and brake shoes. If they're OEM, chances are it's really 29,000 since at 129,000 they'd have been replaced by now. There's ways to tell for sure, just that it might take getting the truck up on the rack to do so.

I've been told by several older people, that you can tell when they've flipped because the number's don't line up properly any longer.

For instance, if it were 58,000 even the 5 and 8 would be slightly rotated. Although, I haven't ever had anything low mileage so I have no idea lol.

That is partially true. IIRC, it's Dodge, on a 5 digit odo, if the middle digit is half way up or down, it's a rolled over or tampered with odo.
