69 just turned 500,000 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just rolled over 500,000 miles on the 69 stepside!! Restored in 91 and 135,000 on it since then. Sat idle for about 6 years since I returned it to everyday use. Time for another tear down and start over. Is there such a thing as a 500,000 mile club?

Cool congrates! If there is (was) a 500,000 mi club I don't think there would be to many members.....

If there is, I'll be eligable soon...499,3** miles. Really shows too.

I hope to start the resto early next year, the motor is still running well, so maybe longer. Body is really showing the wear and tear.
