Looks good for such miles and abuse (plowing being the abuse).

Any reason you went with a 150 for plowing and not a bare bones 250? The 150 seems to be holding the plow up nicely... did you put in heavy duty springs up front for that purpose?

I had put heavier springs in front from coilsprings.com that I had made to increase front end capacity by 500 lbs over the "U" code that came stock. Since then I have changed over to Fox 2.0 that had their own springs. Those worked fine also, but I no longer plow with the truck since I gave it to my daughter. The rear had add a leaf added. I really did not need a F-250 since I only do my own warehouse lot. Deepest snow I have had to plow was 23" once after a blizzard here. Never got stuck but came close. Only other changes were to put in a Crown Vic police interceptor alternator built by Mitsubishi that put out 240 amps. The original worked fine, I just wanted to be on the safe side. It bolts right in and is plug and play with the Ford computer for voltage regulation.
With the work of doing the new phasers, the Ford dealer I am using changes the oil pump to one out of a Mustang GT-500 for better pressure and flow. I am still looking for this truck to make it to at least 500,000 miles on the original engine long block.
