Like the title says sometimes it is better to have vehicles from the same era and usually at least one dependable modern vehicle. This is my 'new to me' truck. A 1978 F-350 Camper Special I will add a few daylight pictures soon. Kirby

My Dad bought a new F250 CS with a 460ci 8mpg boat ancor,Pulled it out after 5000mi and installed a 71 429ci and got 18mpg,we even tried early timing gears on the 460 but best was 10-12 mpg with more power though

It has a 460 it gets about 10-12 mpg, but I bought it knowing it would get bad gas mileage. I have known about this truck for many years and finally had the opportunity to buy it. I bought it from the original owner. The truck is originally a Michigan (Holland) truck and has always been a Michigan truck, although it spent many winters in sunny, warm, salt free places of the country. As for a money tree I have none and the truck is in very nice condition.

Nice truck. Nothing drives like an old old ford truck. Fell in love with an old 60's f100 with a three on the tree once. What a nice truck. My "new" 94 suburban 2500 w/ 454 motor get like 13mpg. But it can pull a house and doesnt get used all that much anyway I love it.
