highest mileage truck

I was just wondering...
What is the highest mileage truck you have ever owned.
I inherited an 85 f150 with the 300 six. Dad bought it new in 85, gave it to me in 94 and I drove it till I bought my new truck in 01.
When I got the truck it had about 280k on it. I rolled it over th 300k before I graduated HS. Driving back and forth from college in Branson Mo to S.E. MO I rolled it over again. The engine finally went, it had never had any major mechanical work done to it. I replaced the engine with a ford remanufactured one and drive teh truck another 40k then bought my new(er) one. I sold ol blue to my borhter in law who totaled it about a month later. I should have never done that. Anyway I would like to hear other stories of long lasting trucks. I can't prove that is how many miles the old truck had on it, you guys will just have to take my word for it. There isn't any reason to make stuff up, cause they are build FORD TOUGH
