The question is not "how many miles on the truck?" but "how many miles are left in the truck." That truck looks like it has a lot left in it 
When you are talking pickups though, especially if they are from states in the rust belt, it's definitely how many miles are left. The engines will go many many miles, the truck itself is a different story.
I have one with 238k on it , engine has another 238k in it , the truck itself does not, but I take some of that blame.

this dealer is pretty popular around here for a good inventory of used Dodge trucks.

$16K for a 95'....that pretty steep...but thanks for the link 
no problem, with any of these dealers, cash talks, they always start out on the high side. Not sure where he gets them, some are trade ins to them but they gotta be buying them at the auction too. The owner also owns the local dragstrip in Byron.

For me, it has to be a manual trans, and 2006 or older...
Don't rule out a 2007 because you could still get the 5.9 for half a year.

Around 223k on my 01 in the rust and I'd say the body even untouched would easily last another 200k. The way I use it, there's always enough mud underneath to keep the salt from getting to much

Eric,
Did you drive one yet? The pickings seem pretty slim right now, but for me it has to be a manual trans. I had test driven a bunch of autos when my '98 was ready to be retired, and my '98 with the original auto and +330k on it had a better trans than all of the ones I test drove.
Seems if you get a used one with an auto, keep a few $$$ in reserve for a rebuild, and that ain't cheap on one of those. Stick, has been so reliable, its not funny.
