So I guess that you can say that the old white Ford has been a good truck. Aside from tune ups, oil changes, and tires that cost $1,000 a set we haven't had anything that bad happen. There was a rebuild of the back axle and a broken leaf spring that were pretty major, and replacement of some of the mechanical parts that run accessories but all in all-original motor and transmission. I had two goals for the truck, 200,000 miles on the original running gear and 175,000 without sinking any major cash into it. I made these goals around 125+ miles and, as you can see, I didn't quite make my first goal. 561 miles short. Look closely, this is what I see when traveling 65 on the highway.
Here's to 200 thousand!
