Remsen, my dad's buddy who lived across the street from us when I was a kid bought an 87 or 88 Ford F150 with the 300 six and a five speed brand new. He put 480k on it and only replaced tires, oil, filters, battery, and an alternator in all those miles. He gave it to a coworker and the last time I saw it he had it up to 532k and was having a new clutch put in it.
My uncle works construction as an equipment operator and basically lives in his truck at times due to scheduling and travel. Last time I saw him his truck looked like Sammo described with it being full of clothes and stuff, but the 5.9 Cummins and 6sp manual were still ticking right along at 330k. I think his was an 04 model. Before that he had a 97 F150 4x4 with a 5.4 that he ran to almost 400k. He gets all the good out of his pickups.
