We just took our 96 dodge to the scrap yard a little over a month ago, with just shy of 385,000 on it. Husband probably would have kept it longer, but the motor and tranny both went out in it(was worked like a dog hauling massive scrap loads, obviously not good on a half ton pickup). Will be a while before we hit 300,000 again, he currently has a 96 ford with just under 200,000, and I have an 06 sierra with 168,000. I've also included the only picture I have, taken just before the poor thing was flattened.
