My 91 E-250 van just lost oil pressure at idle with 330,000 miles with 1-valve job but no bottom end work, 3 e4od trannys, van was used as a fire sprinkler fitters service van, usually with heavy threading equipment, pipe and ladders etc. I'd say I got my moneys worth by now.

I would not doubt that.
As a boy I grew up in small town Ohio. Nearby my home was a truck drive that owned a 59-60 F-100. Short bed, apparently no options on it except maybe a rear view mirror and rear bumper. I was six with a three on the tree. Dark green paint, white roof. Pretty little truck as I recall. I don't know who owns that truck now, but I do know that I went back for a High school alumni party. There it was going through the intersection in town. It's still on the road, 40 years later and looks the same.
I truly believe that truck will be running still when I am not. Probably the same is true for my truck.

I thought about that as well. It was the same truck however, I'm sure. Maybe refurbished, but it had distinguishing features, like chrome grill and painted front bumper that didn't match the paint on the rear bumper. Yet, there it was twenty years later. A real time machine, locked in the past.
BTW, I lost a 67 Ford Custom 500 to cancer of the frame at the torque box. Car literally broke in half. I think it was 5 years old at the time, but I bought it used with probably 100 K on the clock (it was a "deal"). I drove it for two years afterwards pinging about 36K per year myself going to Kent State and working fulltime. Not easy being a poor kid in rural Ohio.
