Had a '88 F150 with the V8 that had over 400,000 miles on it. It had been hit by a semi early in life and repaired, been in a second accident and 'totaled' and repaired by me, and made it until the third accident when a guy crossed the center line and hit it hard enough to cave in the front end and buckle the floor pans under my feet before being retired. In the 400,000 plus miles all it ever had done to it, beyond routine maintenance, was to replace the exhaust cross over pipe running across the back side of the engine. Beyond that it used no oil, got great gas mileage, and was the best truck I;ve ever had. Now I've got an '87 with a straight 6 and I'm hoping I can get the same life out of it.
Given the life of the other one, I know this one's starting out right because it's already been hit by two deer, before I got it, so I repaired the front end and drivers side fender and door first thing. Then it caught the top of a tree across the cab, and I got that fixed. So, it's had it's tewo major accidents and now it's ready to roll on to a long life....LOL

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
