You must be the before 92 styles with the 5 digit rollover odometer, not the digital so you could have 41,400 or 141,400 or 241,400 or 341,400... And on and on, hard to tell but i guess the story is yours

Hi guys. *FINALLY I GOT TO 400,000 MILES on my 93 F150 5.0 and everthing still the same with my engine since my last post.
"Still original engine havent touch it at all, just normal services like water pump, radiator , plugs . etc. Valve covers still seal no oil leaks at all, the only place it leaks its main seals front and rear but thats normal on all engines. It doesnt over heat, oil pressure still at normal range. when i replace spark plugs still clean , not burning oil at all. Still pass the smog test ever two years.(im from California). rebuilt transs. in 96. replace rear end 97.
From now on I hope to get 25,000 miles more at the time so i hope to get to 425,000 next.

Just rolled over 470,000 miles on my 1989 f150. I also need some help....
I'm 14, working on a project, and am in need of help. I bought a 1989 f150 to use as parts for my dads 1989 f150 witch I will be driving to high school. I've already restored the other truck aside from paint witch is coming soon. I stumbled across a 1979 302 v8 to replace the 4.9 i6 in the parts truck because I like carb better than efi, and in planning to strip it to the frame and make a rock crawler. I've already removed the cab and bed and most of front clip this past week and I need to know wether I can drop in a 1979 302 and pair it with the m5od. I know from the same year they will fit together no problem, but will the ten year age difference effect it? The link for the engine is below. Any other tips as far as tires or getting some minor sirface rust off the frame? https://columbia.craigslist.org/pts/5179901354.html
