Re: Post your mileage for the year !
I have not paid a whole lot of attention to the odometer, but I have made some long hauls with two slicks this past year, running down '39 Chevy 1/2 ton parts.
From east TN:
Kansas and back - '66 1/2 ton longbed & trailer - clean straight hood, fenders, box, cab, frame & little stuff.
Arkansas and back - '66 1/2 ton longbed & trailer - axles, suspension, wheels, radiator, clean frame & misc parts.
Minnesota and back - '66 1/2 ton longbed - engine, transmission, axles, radiator, gas tank, misc parts (barely all fit).
Alabama and back - '66 1/2 ton longbed & trailer - entire intact rolling truck frame (no tin).
North Carolina and back - '66 1 ton flatbed - two 216 engines, another radiator & lots of small parts.
Funny how I rarely see anything NEAR as old as my slicks out on the freeway. Of course, tooling along at 55-60 where the speed limit is 70, you have lots of time to look around
"Wow...you drove out here in THAT?"
My trucks are not restored, and don't look real good, but they run great and are well maintained. That is what gets you out and back home most of the time.

Not sure what all the hub bub is about mileage...Mine gets almost as much as a Prius....at least that is what I told my wife. She just smiles. I love that gal.

Lowell - KC was a little over 3000 for me all-in. Easily another 2000 just running around locally. I'll double that if I ever get around to installing AC!

Re: Post your mileage for the year !
Ok, so I had to check my records:
I"m right at 500 miles for 2012 on the F250.
I"m sure I've put less than that on the F100, but don't have a #, as it's speedo doesn't work most of the time.
All is good. I spent most of today prepping them for their winter sleep during the salty roads months, usually December - March.

Re: Post your mileage for the year !
0 essentially since the mid '90's ... but at least it's in the garage now and not rusting/ deteriorating any more (like it did in the '80's outside). Hopefully I can restart on it soon, since my basement remodel project is done !!!ICEMAN6166 wrote:yes that seemed to be the big news todayMadMaxetc wrote:0.

Re: Post your mileage for the year !
.002 of a mile yes i drove it this year! around the house and back into the shop! lol
Re: Post your mileage for the year !
~ 800 on the tow truck, most of those from Nebraska to KC to Ottawa KS, to southern OK. About 120 gallons of fuel, 1 quart of oil, two tires, 3 fuel pumps (don't ask ), 1 small length of defective Gates fuel line. Runs good now, just four more tires and it would be ship-shape. It hasn't taken kindly to the bay-side environment, but has proven to be a lot of fun, and I'm in danger of re-developing biceps at my advanced age

Re: Post your mileage for the year !
1634 so far this year. I drive it daily, except for the week we spent in Hawaii. It welcomed me home by springing a leak in the fuel line between the pump and carb.
Re: Post your mileage for the year !
Doc thats some insane mileage..
Elliot, you went to Hawaii? WITHOUT YOUR TRUCK !

Over 400 on the long bed
About 800 on the 223 shortbed between my son and I
0 on the army parts truck, unless you count up and down on jack stands
about 80 feet on the turk frame in and out of the garage.
