since your wanting to use this for hauling stuff, i would avoid it for even 5,000 or 3,000 even. that many miles, is way tp many. it would be nice to own just to say u had a truck with that many miles on it, but i wouldnt pay much for it and deffinately wouldnt use it for hauling stuff very far at all. jmo good luck with your search

Thats too many IMO, like others said you can find many more trucks with far less miles. But that guy did stick alot of money into makin it road worthy. At 7k he's proably just trying to recoup the cost of the parts he has into it. I wouldn't be worried about the motor as much as whats around it. Roads tear the hell out 1 tons that tow for a living.

with 606,000mi....I'd offer $3500 tops. A truck with that many miles would be okay to drive until you absolutely can't anymore, then just part it out and try and make the money back. That's what I'd do anyways.

If dudes askin 7000 I doubt he'll bite on 3500 But If you liked the truck or what not, just hold on to the number and give it a couple months then call him back. At that price the truck will not go anywhere fast.

Is it a 2WD BTW? If it is, dude is crazy on the price.
