Default 500k miles - never thought that

Bought my 97 new in Arizona in August with no idea of going this far. Actually, I wanted a z71 back then but those trucks flew off the lots so I ended up with the f150.
Not even sure I can call my truck a f150 anymore since most of if not all of the replaceable components are not OEM. Still starts and drives fairly well but a little loose feeling.
