Green 77, 142,000 4th engine, just as many transmissions, total restore at 138,000. Mud truck has 100,898 as of this morning on the way to work, new 460 and C-6 in the last year, I don't know how many before that. I have bought a rust free body including the box to begin the restore job on this one soon.I believe that both of these trucks will go many more miles before I die and my wife has to figure out what to do with them. -Ed

I think there is 158,000 on my 77 F 250 4x4. the 351m thats in it is a turd n i'll probably replace it with a 390. My 81 F 150 4x4 302 4 speed has i think 130,000 and its on its 4th engine n second body (it was a good idea at the time but not much better than what was on it.) I.m not a 302 guy after owning this truck, very gutless. it has a hard time pulling my 12ft camper trailer.

Dang, your trucks are all babies still.
my truck has 414,000 miles, been offroad about 100,000(for a fact, know the original owners son, OO died 2002) of the 414,000 and still strong as all get up. Third engine, same block, runs like a champ. Uses no oil. leaks about a quart every 6,000 miles. can't beat these ol trucks. You guys only got a 10th of life out of them rigs.

i have lots on mine it is close to 515,200 . it was in use until 88 as a forest service truck and in 88 when retired it had 266,000 engine was replaced spring of 86 and tranny in summer of 86. then was used by a school district until 94 when the enigne went out at 390,000. my friend bought it from a salvage yard(they were going to crush it) for 2,000.00. he rebuilt the enigne drove it until 03 he put about 110k on it. the truck is striaght rust free and only has 3 dents and the interior still looks close to new. the tranny has not been rebuilt since 86 and it may be time for a rebuild soon. but the rear axle has never been touched.

About 67,000 on my '76 F100 I6. I believe I'm 3rd owner. It was bought in July, but I haven't had it on the road a whole lot, due to working my way through some things to get it ready for inspection. New exhaust and intake manifold gasket. I still have a very slight ticking leak that I think is coming from the heat riser valve. If the inspectors won't pass it, I may be doing the EFI manifold swap sooner than I planned. Right now I'm working on new brake pads/shoes, wheel cylinders, etc and fixing the back-up lights. Pretty minor stuff, but difficult to find the time to do it.
