Up to 44 years with the Suburban, and I'll keep at least two of them until my daughter inherits them (three trucks).

The biggest one is not an emotional attachment and it might be sold/traded in the future (it should be finished this summer). (finished cab back on frame) (vacuum/oil plumbing mocked-up - ready for wiring and radiator)

I did have one for about 5 years, that I simply got running safely/reliably (with a "souped/dressed up" 261) before I traded it for labor from my young friend, Dave. He is still paying-off with skilled-labor (10 years later) and he still drives his boys in it on special occasions (he added seat belts).
