Aside from the fact it still runs well, another reason to keep my ‘77 F150. The pickup is older than my girlfriend. No tracking device there, not that I really need to avoid one. Closest I come to illegal is trying to buy beer a few minutes early.
BTW, I run the rascal on propane, 350K+, expect at least 500K. Darned thing might outlast me.

Which one lacks the tracking device? Your pickup or your girlfriend? Couldn’t resist!
Sounds like my old truck - 85 F-250 7.3L Diesel. We called her the Blue Beast.
Gave to my son to use as a work truck when it was at 397K. he kept it for a couple years and sold it with 448K on it. Thing still ran great once it was started, but the glow plugs and starting system had gotten tempermental over the years and it had gotten to the point where most days a shot of ether was needed to kick it off.
