Great to see new posters in here. Y'all don't be shy. My '70 (302- C4) died, with about 300,000, but the '79 (302-C6) with about 200,000 is now the toy (frame-off resto in progress). My '97 (4.6) now has 311,000 and I hate it. Electric locks, windows, tilt, cruise, bucket seats, blah blah. It's just not the same......

I guess I should add, I rebuilt the motor last summer, and now have 2,000 on the rebuild, and it runs real nice, and does not leak a drop.

Mine has 79 K on it, but it was sitting for almost 8 years before I put it back on the road. Since then it goes about 2K a year.

It has a set of 1977 original Hedman Headers and 33x12.5x16.5 Goodyear Wranglers with an1988 date code on it, .

I have a 76 F250 4x4 that was my fathers. The complete truck has been rebuilt 3 times, including a frame replacement. I'd guess around 200k miles. The truck was from OH and sit's alot now. I hate to admit this, but I think the only original part's are the title and the front axle housing. I'd fight you to the death if you stated "that this is not really your dad's truck anymore"
