173K and rising.

The tranny has about 60K but the motor is original.

Re: Miles on your Sy/Ty?

I see trucks on here with many more miles than I was expecting :lol: .... so here's a new question... who plans to just keep driving the truck until it can't be driven any more?

That would be my M.O.

I'm going to put a new motor in it later this year and some more fixer upper type stuff but I'm keepin it.

I drove my 83 Blazer until the meter stopped registering miles at 274K. Then I drove it for another 3 years, 7 days a week until one day I parked it and it never started again. I didn't even bother trying to fix it as I figured it was well beyond 300K and it had more than done it's tour of duty.

I'm at 101k. I took a few pictures pulled over on the side of the rode after a cruise night a few months back. They show a "1" followed by a lot of zeros!

Haha, I'm actually contemplating this for a winter vehicle since I don't want my current Ty in the snow. My truck was daily driven for a lot of its life so I intend to keep it that way. It's not going to get a lot of miles in the next 2.5 years though because I'm not allowed to have it here, or drive within 100 miles of here either :tdown:

Hey man,you need to take some high quality digital pics of every square inch of your Ty.

Would be very helpful to the restoration guys 30 years from now.
