yeah, i love these old trucks to death. when i lived in idaho my truck used to be my older brothers and we had about 5 acres of hay/alfalfa that'd get baled and needed to be stacked for the horses and we'd load that all in the bed well over the height of the cab and then onto a 20 foot trailer just as high and that 460 would pull it through furrows and all.

when it became mine.. i kinda kicked the crap out of it being the 15 year old i was at the time. i finally killed it when i was 19, it broke a piston skirt and spun a rod and main bearing all on that piston. it had 250,000+ miles on it. i loved it so much though so i had the engine rebuilt.. like.. 2 years later. cash doesn't grow on trees, even in idaho. i plan on keepin it forever if i can. i think it'll do another 250,000+
