1980 Ford 9000 LNT 625k before speedo broke, 10 wheeler
'94 F350 4x4 DRW 5spd. 110K
'96 F 350 4x4 srw auto crew cab XLT 245k
'03 F 350 DRW Crew cab 4x4 auto trans 196k
All above still get worked and are still reliable trucks. Between running cattle, bottom two trucks with bale beds, and tree cutting top two, clam truck and small dump, this bunch of trucks has held up great. Will be posting pics of hay haulers soon as I figure this out.

another great thread
Since I quit lurking...I owe a big thank you to this thread.
got a 2003 5.4L 250 SD - I was able to get it from the Colorado hwy dept a few months back with 166,000 on it. It's a great truck - up to around 175,000 now. It's got a few battle scars, I can live with 'em.
Mechanically all I did was put on a new main belt, change the oil a few times, and a nice low rumble muffler. I had my local dealer go thru it...soup to nuts...and they couldn't find anything wrong with it I didn't mention.
I lifted it some - put on 315/75/16's Terra Grapplers - I like fat tires -always have a rock crawler around.
replaced the broken stereo, covered the 'beat to crap bed' up with roll up cover, and that's about it.
I used to lurk over this thread....I've wanted a SD/F250 for probably 2 decades. kids...then teen drivers...life....I got this and all the stuff I did to it for way under 10k, which is all I could spend.
This thread gave me the cohones to buy a great truck that I feel will last for way past 300k miles - or another words....for a long time in my life!
thanks everyone for contributing to this thread!
sorry for the bad pic - I will get more this fall when I start hunting/camping/fishing out of it!
