I've been toying with the idea of replacing it, just ignore the items that need to be fixed and sell it off to somebody else, but there isn't a vehicle I've ever owned that I have felt more comfortable in. So off for body and paint, ball joints, brakes & tires - oh & I'll finally fix that front pinion too.

That's not much on a 7.3 - I've seen plenty that have surpassed 500K. If you have an auto trans better set some aside for a rebuild if it's not been done already

They claimed they never did a thing to it but front end work. He said they would have kept it longer if the body would have held up.

That doesn't surprise me.
