The Million Mile Pickup Truck

Clifton Copeland of Garysburg, North Carolina bought a 1986 Ford F-150 pickup from his uncle in 1991. As of 2005, the truck has more than 1.2 million miles on it. And it's still running find. Clifton stills drives it to work 360 miles every day (180 to and 180 back). His secret? Simple maintenance repairs are really important. He changes the oil every 4,000 miles and the antifreeze every two years. Since owning the truck, he has had to replace one distributor, three alternators, three starters, and the timing chain. And he's gone through a few tires.
