When I found this little rascal at the Ford dealership, it had colse to a 100G on the odometer. So the total rebuild let the meter start over at zero which was fine with me. Now there is about + - 8,000 miles. Beefy little rascal.

95' F150 220,000+ miles - the odometer quit 2 years ago. Bought in 03' by a teen from a teen with 100,000 go-or-blow miles and still my sweetheart. Also a 92' transplanted into another 95' around 175,000 now. Love it every day.

Sorry for the lack of response, but I believe it was made by Clark. The first 3 gears are similar to 2-4th gear in my T18, but it has a 4th gear OD

A couple of days ago, a neighbor of mine showed up driving a 1976, F-150 with the 300 I-6. It was his father's truck. 130,000 or so on the Odometer. Clean except for some rust in the rear quarter wheel wells.

Miles on 4.9

My '82 F100 has 87,000 miles. It's been doing farm duty since the mid-90's. The mice sure liked stashing leaves and grass in all the air ducts. Almost out of the garage after heater repair, rebuilt carb and manual choke conversion. Broke a heater blend door cable in the process, so replaced it with small engine throttle control cable. Mice had eaten all the foam off the blend door, letting hot air through the hole in the door. Recovered door with "foamies" from kids crafts at WalMart. Both ideas were on here.
