If you are not mechanically informed, or educated, do not buy a truck with 210,000+ miles on it! Save the money and spend it at auto mechanics school!
Look for one with low miles. You don't know how those trucks with high miles have been used, or treated!
Yeah, they are cheap, but---what you don't spend for it, will soon be spent on it.
On the other hand, if you have lots of knowlege about cars, etc., and need a money pit--well, its your money.
Some years back, i bought a Ford Ranger, and sank about $600 in it, to get it to run half-adzed. Finally gave it away. Bought a 1991 Ranger, 100,000 miles on it, ran great, spent $200 to get it on the road. Put 125,000+ miles on it--sold it for $300!
BUT---
My main education and life's work has been in auto mechanics and auto body work. Being 85 years plus, i can still do my own work. Not feeble, or senile, just enjoy working things!
So, if you think you know how to do repairs, and have the place to fix things (not the oak tree out back) and the money for parts-go for it. But, i think, if it was me, i'd keep the one you have, and look for a truck with much lower mileage!

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si ... [Read Article]
