[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16075862, member: 46336"] Problem I've found with used trucks is its very rare to find a high mileage/durable enough truck to handle the rigors of multiple motor/trans replacements through its lifetime. If you use your truck like a truck, obviously dents, dings, scratches etc don't matter. But when you get to the point where the axle assembly is so god blessed worn out that you're replacing the ring/pinion, axles, bearings, seals, and diff, it gets expensive fast. Despite what it may seem, very few trucks in the last 30 years can be rebuilt 10 times and not wear out even the hard parts. Then you run into trouble finding those parts, and you find yourself not enjoying the busted up weatherstripping evacuating out any semblance of heat and AC from the cab. Male Bravado aside, even the best trucks get retired when they are simply that worn out. 77-79 F100's were arguably the best built, most reliable Fords to grace the blacktop and corn fields. How many do you see riding around as daily beaters/work trucks still? Yea, not many if any at all. We can say what we want, but their is definitely a shelf life on every vehicle built. [/QUOTE]
