Drove mine for 10 years using it as a work truck and daily. Made a few heavy hauls along the way. That is of course after the original owner ran a grain elevator with it for the 1st half of its life and the second owner parted it in a field for 16 years.
Made a 1750 Mile road trip pulling a heavy trailer from California to Oklahoma one time, made a video of that for memories.

This was all prior to the V8 swap with the 235 and 4 speed.
