This truck has given our company almost twenty years of service and 200,000 plus miles. Rust has taken it's toll but the 7.3 idi and c6 auto runs like a champ. My 06 F250 towing it down to a friend who will probably sell it to migrant workers.

 

Rust...where? Just kidding. Doesn't look too bad in the pic though. It is a sad feeling. Looks like it had a good life though. I semi-retired a 95 F-150 at 320,000 miles this summer. I still start it and keep it going, but rust, a very tired transmission, and other minor issues made it not worth driving a lot anymore. I bought it from the first owner when he retired it at 304K, mainly because I had wanted it ever since I was a kid and it was brand new.

 

kinda makes me want to buy it and keep it going. but i have my own to get going at least it had a good life and had a purpose

 

Looks good from 50ft. cab has a rust sunroof, bed rusted badly, hood rusted all the way through too.

 

the link just gives me digital gibberish.

 

Its sad watching them go, they really grow on ya.

I semi retired my 82 F100, shes sitting in the yard beside my garage waiting for the day when she'll see the road again. It sucks not driving her, I couldn't imagine losing it.

 

you will be hard pressed to get your new one to last as long as your old one did.. i will guantee that.

ya wanna keep her goin? or at least part of her, if thats an F350 4x4 you can sell me the axles off it

ive never had to retire one yet, but i did get my 1990 when my parents retired it. lol, i think i got the better end of that deal, they were told by their loyal (cough cough) dealership that the engine was toast so said i could have it if i could fix it. turns out just needed a new cooling system. so 400 bucks in parts and a weekend of time later i had the best running blown engine ive ever heard
been serivin me strong ever since

 

What rust Thats a solid truck where I come from.
My old truck now front and rear is rusted to body line and the cab corners almost to handles.

No its sad to see em go. I like to parts out as I can help allot of people even though I don't get$$ . But ussually more than scrap
