Worth it: 250k Mile Gen1? ($15k, Single Owner, 71 Service Records)

Yeah you don't want to join me in the special window edition club

New set of pistons and rods. Arp bolts, new timing components. Melling oil pump . New valve springs, cam followers, lash adjusters . I would do New valves also . If you think how many times that rotating assembly has cycled up and down in 250k miles. You would be golden for another 250 . Transmission and rear axle can be rebuilt fairly easily if they take a dump . But windowing a engine block . Your SOL

BUY IT. Great Reliable Truck. And just 15k, you can have plenty of money lf you can and do plenty of Mods and have a Great Weekend toy. If not already done, you'll want to look into a Molded Lead Frame replacement. Mine crapped out at 190k miles Around 1200 bucks if you have Dealership do it. Replacing thecpart is not hard but to do a thorough tranny flush including the lines can be tricky thats why I had my Trusted Dealership do it.
