4x4 & mileage?

I have a 1991 F350 that is a 4x4, and when I pulled the speedometer to remove the speedo cable, I noticed something odd. I went to replace my "4x4" and "Low Range" lights (they didn't come on when I shifted into 4x4, and low range, I suspected they were out), only to find that the lightbulb sockets were not there. Could this mean that the speedometer and other guages face is from a different truck? Maybe a 2 wheel drive one. How could I really find out how many miles are on the truck, because I am suspicious as to where the speedometer/guage dash came from. Maybe a truck with lesser miles on it than mine.

What other conclusion can you draw?

What difference does it make? Are you disatisfied?

Look for the switch that controls the 4x4 light, hangs out of the TC.

How many miles do you believe that the truck has?

CarFax.com, they do research on mileage/history/collisions.

After 4 children, Would you be angry with your wife, for something that happened in high school?

Good Luck
