It those were 759 original miles on a survivor, it may have been worth more if it had been left in "as found" condition. But I agree this mileage may have been accumulated after the truck was refurbished.
It looks like the floors took a lot of work to get them looking like they do now. The floor pans are about half as wide as they should be. Maybe a lot of sheetmetal was welded in?
I have had a lot of discussions over the years from others who have noticed the red oxide coating the outside of the axle housings on trucks that remain fairly original, as well as the center welded on cover of the third member having the remains of yellow paint. This seems to have been common under the original black.
I wonder of the red oxide prompted the decision to paint the axle housings red?
