They are built good. I live on a gravel road that climbs 1,500 feet in the 3 miles to my house. Potholes, washboard. Not that far you might say? 32 years of it takes a tole. Jeep suspension rules. 
No comment on the body. The hood and passenger doors are fine though!

262K, running strong! No smoke. A little blow-by, (draft tube). Rear main seal a bit drippy at times. 1 qt/1000 mi. Great engine. Nothing I own has lost a rod or piston since I started straight wt Castroil 30w in everything over 10 years ago. On a really cold morning (35 Deg), I'm sure to give it time to get up into the works before taking off.
