I don't have a single truck over 100k, except my 01 at 141,000(according to the odometer, lol)

My buddy's 351M has almost 300k, never rebuilt. I have a 302 with over 300k in my 79, it's rebuilt though.

79 4x4 351M, 60-some K on the odometer, rolled over at least 2 and probably no more than 4 times -- original owner, my uncle, is dead and my aunt can't remember. Never rebuilt, though I believe it's on its last legs.

The original 351M in my 79 had 335K on it when I dropped in a 400 two weeks ago. I also have a 74 F350 Super Camper Special with 366,000 miles on the original 460, and it hauled between 10,000 and 12,000 pounds of grain grinding equipment every day of its life.
