I don’t care how many miles your “rebuilder” vehicle has...as long as it’s not falling apart from rust.

Most any standard shift, pre-2000 vehicle should run and be reparable forever. Just pick a different running-system every couple of months and tackle it (brakes, suspension, fuel, AC etc) Pretty soon you’ll run out of things to fix.

Or you could build an “old” pickup on a new chassis (minus most of the computerized foolishness). I like the older EFI and coil-pack (wasted spark) ignition, but that’s about it.

Well here is one you won’t believe.
I own a 2002 Ford F150 Truck with over 900,000 miles that’s right over 900,000 miles and still going strong !!
Had to put a transmission, rear end and wheel bearings and other small parts, engine no !
Hell NO, I won’t sell it.
