I may try that. My doge has 210,000 on the 4.7L. That ford probably gets 8-10 mpg in the city i reckon

That ford probably gets 8-10 mpg in the city i reckon Wrong it gets 8-10 every where, you should just about be able to step on the gas and watch the gas gauge go down as fast as the speed goes up. Great trucks and I'd buy it in a second if it was in good shape but more for sentimental reasons then to drive everyday Won't have to worry about it being stolen if its a 4 speed

Why do you all got to be so practical? I once had a 1979 Short Box Reg Cab Ford 4x4 small lift 33" tires, with a 429 and 750 Holley on a high-rise Edelbrock intake. Doubt if I got 10 mpg ever... wish I still had it!!! I had my gas guzzlers back then too. But, has was under a dollar then too! Lol

I had a '72 Ford F250 two wheel drive with the 390 Big Block growing up and I just loved that beast!! Painted a house in trade for it. Got married and had to move and ended up having to sell the truck. Looking back I should have kept the truck as the wife is long gone, LOL. I had the same truck in a 1976 version. It was a screamer. My first truck too.

If it's got the factory carburetor the velocity pump on the front of it can get a pin hole in it making it run rough so I kept a extra one handy. Other than that they are tough to beat, they have a great approach for busting through deep snow or drifts
