It does need the fuel tank level senders replaced. paint is ok. Very clean truck inside and out. $7000 obo. Call or text for more info or pics. (314) 303-1155 Fenton, MO. Kent Pascoe
It has fairly tall 235/85 16 tires so it doesn't spin the engine to crazy. The off idle torque is quite impressive, but the truck isn't fast. Not pulling a trailer it get between 15 to 18 mpg. Pulling my trailer it can drop to 8 to 10 depending on the headwind of course.
I had a 85 350 crew cab 8' bed with the 460/ c6/ 4:10 gear and it never went over 10 mpg towing or not. Sold it for 4K
Been hauling the car trailer with a 01 F250. 7.3 4 speed od trans. Swapped in a 3:55 gear and det locker diff. It was getting 10 - 12 towing with the 3:73's now goes 15 - 18 mpg all day. 1900 rpm @ 68 mpg is her sweet spot.
I've shared your info with 3 guys not related to this board that contacted me about trucks like this one.
Same as Briz, I've forwarded to a couple of people, who have talked to you. Last one just talked to you about 1/2 hr ago. He forgot to ask if it was 4wd or not.
