A man’s 1989 Chevy pickup truck is closing in on one million miles.
Larry Ferrante’s Chevy is already more than eight-tenths of the way there – or so he figures.
He “lost the speedometer about 10 to 15 years ago at 605,000”. If he had to estimate his mileage, he’s “up to 800 – 805.”
All those miles are thanks to what is under the hood of the pickup.
He has “four oil systems. Two inline amsoil systems.”
The engine, transmission and drive train are all still the originals. However, many mechanical modifications Ferrante devised keep it still going.
Included in the nearly 20 years of modifications are an array of pumps, heaters and electrical gadgets.
He hopes it runs for another 200,000 miles or so.
The mileage isn’t bad for a truck he said he paid just under $500 in 1993.
