I like that body style a little better than the new trucks.  What kind of gas mileage is that 460 getting?

Yeah, I had a 95 SuperCab in that style; a 302 though. Wasn't pulling anything then!

It'll sure do the job until the boys get too big for the rear jumpseats. With mine, that happened about 8th grade. By then, though, you can find a Crew Cab.

The 460 is a tough motor; 59,000 is barely broke in. And it'll pull a house off it's foundations.

You're ready to ride. Congrats!

lol raub!

Mini--The engine was a turn off, and a turn on...turn off for the fuel burn rate (10-12 with a camper, 14 without) and turn on for the power, when you rev it, the damn truck feels like its riding up 6 inches, but you can watch the gas guage start reaching for your wallet.

Its going to sit 11 months out of the year, so I'm not concerned on the fuel aspect of it.

Toad, never thought of the "outgrowing" part..hmm, that gives me roughly 7 years... :(

Eskimo, its always "too much", wherever you buy um. ;)  But I will tell you it was less than $13,000.

Nice truck.  I keep trying to convince the house spouse we need one like that to pull the T-bird to car shows.  I just can't seem to justify the need to have a fourth vehicle.

She is right I guess.

I like the truck. The lines do make it look old, but for a camper host?  It's perfect. And I like the old looking trucks too.

I really like the Anti- School Crossing speed limits cage on the front.
