I got 275,000 out of my '84 w/Banks Sidewinder when I sold it to a friend who used it as a farm truck in the mountains (hauling hay wagons...you name it) for another 10 or so years. My '92 6.5TD that I sold the '84 to get has 281k on it and runs like a top. I enjoy the hard working truck as much now (if not more) as I did almost 20 years ago when I first got it. That's 556,000 miles from two trucks over 27 years.
I sold a '84 K10 with a 6.2 still running good with 339,000 about 4 years ago. The truck was worn out, reverse had died in the 700R4, and it just needed too much work, and I sold to a guy that ws hauling scrap with it. I haven't seen it in about a year, but it was ran at 3 more years after I sold it.
