'91 - 200k(overheated the first engine severely with 160k, 2nd engine has 200k)
- cab/chassis service body
'93 - 215k - flatbed
'96 - 210k(sold, very clean, ran fantastic)
'97 - 120k, service body
'00 - 350k

have replaced no frames, no swapped cabs, no rebuilt cabs, routine maintenance/suspension/steering bushings/balljoints replaced...I don't know where the ford guys get that these trucks just fall apart around the engine...I don't know how many times I've been told that our trucks must have or are about to just completely fall apart.

My 06 has 35,5xx on it. My friends dad back home has a first gen, not sure what year, with over 1 million on it. It has always been hooked to the form trailer for his concrete company since day one also.

if ford built their trucks like they did in the 70's you would see 10X's as many out there on the road as you do now.......
