Those motors were likely factory spec'd to run 10-30 oil. Not what you're running in it now.
If it isn't smoking...……..valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, rear crankshaft seal, or front seal. If it were actually burning that much oil, you'd be throwing codes. Most likely mess up the O2 sensor.
My 1994 F-150, 300cid is sitting at 265,000 miles, and still runs fine. Only thing is a leak from the side gasket which covers the pushrods. Pretty common on the 300's.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
