the old longhorn had 140,000 on the clock when she was torn down(or was it 240,000?). the 383 is fresh,2000 miles. the rear diff has 3000 mi, & the trans has about 12,000,as does the front suspension.........still workin on paint .........69

lukecp · 05-22-2002, 09:39 PM

I believe i have at lest 286,000 on mine. When i got it it had the #'s matching 350 still in it, and it had been rebuilt quite a while ago. The motor was pretty worn out, and was smoking really bad. So if you get about 140,000 miles out of a 350, with 2 of them in the truck, it had about 280,000 miles on it. It now has a .030 over 350 from a '73 Camaor in it, with about 10xxx miles on a fresh rebuild

I have over 88,000 on my truck. My grandpa only drove it town maybe once every 2 weeks and then drove it to southern MO a few times since when he bought it in 1984. At that time it had 40 somthing thousand on it the title had said. Before 1984 when my great uncle had it he basically used it for vacations once or twice a summer to the neighboring states.
It still has the original engine and tranny. A lot of the other parts seem to be very original.

Plan to get painted weekend before memorial day weekend.
Planned to be done March 7 when I turned 16. Didn't happen. Chose to do better job and be behind schedule instead of 1/2 doing it and it looking like junk.

Project1970 · 05-23-2002, 01:15 AM

A bit under 122,000; how much I'm not sure for two reasons:

1. I'm too lazy to go look at the odo right now, lol.
2. I ran it for quite a while with the wrong speedo gear (it was probably for a 3.08 or a 2.73) in my TH400 so it read about 1/3 fast. So it's a little high, if anything. Not terribly so, though.

The truck's been in the family since new (and with my parents since it was merely 3 years old), so I know it's never rolled the odo more than once.

O'l Buck · 05-23-2002, 02:46 AM

the only way I'm gonna know how many times my odometer has rolled over is when I die and go to heaven(hopefully the truck is waiting for me there)....God is the only one who can answer that question....I know it's rolled over at least once, probably twice from the looks of the truck and maybe even 3 times...shows 56,000 mile.....someday it will join the million mile club.
