It's not the mileage that is the problem, it's sitting most of it's service
life. Radiator will rust through the tanks, and seals dry out and go bad on
the injection pump. My 1009 had 38,000 miles. I had to have injection pump
rebuilt, $342, and radiator redone $200, Transmission NOS $600 and on, and
on. If you are going to use in winter, undercoat! Salt kills the metal and
rust moves quickly between cab and rear wheel well. Oh, and exhaust pipes
rust very quickly.

Thanks for the tips Stu. This truck has no rust on it at all that
I've been able to find. Yes, the bracket is there on the floor, but
the fuel can holder is not. At what mileage should I be concerned
about the radiator? And I seem to recall that the injector pumps can
become suspect around the 70-80k mark, is that right?
