Ah, I keep forgetting that others have to deal with that rust thing. Round here the only thing that kills vehicles is age and abuse... take care of one and it'll be around forever, we do have rust but not like THAT!

So congratulations yet again, she's in fine shape considering your location!

Keep on moving man, congratulations!
My '95 F150 351w has 221K miles original engine/trans and still chuggin along!

And Dixie460, up here the only thing that kills these trucks is the rust. But, to a certain extent, the rust still doesn't even stop them. At the time I moved out of a two story house with only my '95 F150 and it even had a swiss cheese rusted out bed floor They're tough as nails. Must be nice down there in sunny Florida!

Whats fun is when you hit 400K it rolls back to 300...

Poor old girl got parked 6K later due to the ZF kicking the bucket, and rust having far too much of a hold to make fixing it a sound idea. Not bad for an old girl that spent its first 15 years as a company owned loggers rig...
