It was a little tired when we traded it for a '57. Most fleets tried to dump the vehicles by 75,000. Trucks were the same. Prior to the mid-90s you could plan on a in-frame rebuilt at 600-700 thousand. When the Detroit 60s hit the market they started getting million mile engines that had never been touched other than periodic maintenance.
