Would you buy a 30 year old truck with 51 miles on it?

I believe that you left one thing out... they needed it a lot more than you do.

No, just willing to pay more.
I very much need a large, heavy duty hay truck.
I think it was worth maybe 12-15k when I added up the cost of tires, repairs, transportation and of course a body.
Then again, trucks are at their highest prices in history plus about 20%.

I would put 2 steer tires on and call it a day. The back tires will probably last a long time on a slow speed short haul truck and wouldn’t hurt much if one did blow.

Maybe, but if you’ve ever been in a bigger truck with a heavy load and a massive sidewall failure, it’s pretty scary and unsafe for nearby drivers. Ask me how I know

Depending where you are emission tier would be a deal breaker...

Many perfect older trucks are no longer legal in trade... might be ok for farm use but not for hire.

I passed on a very sweet deal from a retiring family excavating company...

The new tires and aluminum rims worth the price of the truck but it could no longer legally used in trade in California without repowering....

I just stay out of commeefornia
