Bully Big Delores Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 New to me 1984 F-150 351W HO 884,000 miles. In Greenville South Carolina. All the rust seems to be surface. Needs new door panels, mine are completely disintegrated as are the window seals. Will need to give her a much needed tune up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viven44 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I thought I had a lot of miles at 47X,000 ish! 🤯 That Explorer has done a LOT of exploring! Welcome!!! Crazy miles indeed... The ones I've come across, when they have massive mileage accumulation, is usually a clerical error or an inspector who didn't know how to read the odometer... Big Red was bought at copart and the copart listing showed 435,xxx miles and I knew right away that was why I was going to get a great deal, and I did. Another dude on Facebook listed his truck having 675,000 miles and it sat for a month.... it was remarkably clean for an 85 EFI 302 truck... After I told him it had only 67,500 miles and possibly 167, worst case 267... he changed his listing and it was gone the next day He wanted only a 1000 bucks for a good running truck. That chrome still looks better than aftermarket bumper chrome we were talking about a few days ago... I wonder if that's a case of using plating processes back in the day that weren't necessarily environmentally, and occupational hazard friendly.... or if its just a case of cost cutting, or just plain incompetence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just that the llightest flash plating makes it across the ocean in a container before it rusts through??? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
