1984 460 4x4 4-speed. Supposed to be 103k, but could possibly be 203k. Runs good.

My 85 went 275K on the first transmission (NP435), I got the truck with about 320K on it (documented). The motor made it to 389K (300-6). Around 330K i swapped the 8.8 for a 9" and that 8.8 is still running around under one of my friend's truck.

Now the body, that was a "hole" other matter. The mounting points for the front fenders had rusted off as had both of the core support mounts and the entire seam across the back where teh cab meets the floorboard was toast. add in bum cab corners and miscellaneaous holes here and there and it all adds up to a truck that wasn't a whole helluva lot of fun to drive when it get down into the 30's.

Since my truck was used by a local coop before I got it, I'm sure it has a few rounds on the odometer... my dad's 84 has over two, many nore miles logged, but not recorded, since the cable was broke for a wile, and isn't working again now for whatever reason I haven't checked in to yet, since it is currently just a farm-hopping truck, until I get more work done on it.

46,212 original miles. My grand dad bought it new in 1984. He hardly drove the thing. On several ocasions, he had to drain the gas tank because the fuel went bad from sitting so long. The sad part is, when he did drive it, it was in the evil salt/snow. The frame got to bad...so one fine day he gave it to me...

It's been 4 years, a lot of hours, thousands of dollars, and many many curse words...but she is almost done

My 82 F100 is sitting at just a hair under 240,000 miles, my 86 F150 just turned past 177,000 miles.

Both have their original engines, transmissions, and diffs. They both hold 20+ pounds of oil pressure at idle, 40+ at cruising speed, and they both hang right at 190-195 degrees when warmed up. They both have the typical Ford cancer over the wheel wells and on the cab corners, I could care less they're both perfect in my eyes.

I couldn't ask for a better truck, they've both treated me well and never let me down.

175,000 miles....all original, never even had the valve cover off.
A nice array of AutoZone lifetime warranty parts.
Paid $12000 in 1983....$12000/25 years = $480 cost per year and going down.
