Just over 100,000 miles on engine with Mobile 1 synthetic oil changed every 3,000 miles after break in.

C6 Transmission...rebuilt about 15,000 miles back with new synthetic ATF including draining torque converter every summer...two transmission coolers, Custom Ron Davis aluminum radiator and coolant changed every year.
Restoration in 1997...Windows, seat, dash, wiring, doors, bed...everything removed for sandblasting and paint. Fender wells and all parts like hinges and front radiator support were powder coated. Like new upholstery with bench seat from 1996 F250. Dash is perfect with new Nostalgic Air A/C-heater-defroster unit installed about a year ago. A/C is cold with heavy duty condenser and Sanden rotary compressor. New dash and dash pad during restoration...no holes...no cracks...perfect. Upgraded 130 amp Powermaster alternator. Dual batteries...both batteries charge when engine is running and isolated when parked. Main tank (19 gal) replaced 6 months ago with new filler hoses and sending unit. New fuel lines and sending unit along with transfer valves last year...reserve tank is 28 gal and factory. Drive lines rebuilt, new u joints and rebalanced about two years ago. MSD Ignition including MSD distributor and Ignition Control box. Integral power steering...not the power assist on older Fords (Rebuilt power steering gear box by Red Head). Paint is 20 years old...looks good, but not perfect. Garaged since painted...crack in paint on hood and left front of bedside near forward fuel door (See pictures). Door jambs need to be updated (See pictures).
Dana 60s front and rear...king pins NOT ball joints. VERY FEW TRUCKS WITH DANA 60 UP FRONT. Drives and steers like new. Power lock differential up front and Detroit Locker in rear. Power locker installed by Four Wheeler Supply and rear Detroit by Arizona Differential. Upgraded rear axle shafts from Dynatrac. 35x12.50x16.5 BFG All Terrain Tires in great shape with hurricane 10" rims...spare is new. New Process 205 gear driven transfer case. Shifts awesome with 2/4 high and low.
Just rebuilt front springs and shackles, packed front and rear bearings, changed gear lube in both differentials and transfer case, all new brakes, flushed brake fluid, new Edelbrock water pump and high performance fuel pump...had a coolant leak...thought it was coming from timing chain cover...replaced cover and installed new Edelbrock roller timing chain set...turned out to be thermostat housing gasket for $.35.
Camper shell is from Mountaineer in Tempe, looks like new and was completely rebuilt by them just before they sold their shop about three years ago.
Used 4 wheel drive in Feb...solid and works perfect!!!!
