How old is your truck?

I am wondering what is the oldest truck being used for expediting out in EO land?

Which kind of truck?? On the van end I know a fella running for a competitor whose truck is a 1993 GMC 2500. Another is at a company I used to be with and his is a 1991 (if I remember correctly) GM. I talked recently with a driver there and they say he is still running with it.

While you're posting the age, also post the miles on the odometer, that would also be interesting.

How hard is it to get a company to take an older truck? I have been told it is hard to find a reliable truck over 5 yrs old with the average miles, is that true?

I had seen a picture of Terry's first transporation hauler, it had a donkey tied to a pole that was attatched to a wagon, I think he bought the wagon off his grandfather, and the donkey well thats another story. Henry Ford was only in his teens when the picture was taken.
