I’m looking at a 89 ford F-150 the girl says it has 68000 miles how do I know if it really is 168000 ? ---

You don’t know unless there is an extra digit. Even then, on an 89, it is likely to have been rolled back because I think it still uses a mechanical odometer. If you are looking at this truck like a low miles, daily driver, forget it. The age of the parts is far more of an issue than the odometer mileage. ---

By looking at the service records. If there aren’t any, you’re buying an end of life vehicle anyway. ---

Look at how worn the brake pedal is. Tester
