79 F150

Just sold my Lincoln today, and sold my 93 F-150 last month. Now i'm looking for a new vehicle. lol. Found a 79 Ford F-150 that I could get. Rebuilt Napa 302 with a 600cfm Holley carb that is brand new. Has just a few hundred miles on it. Has a C6 trans..and a 9" with 2.75 gears. Just curious..what kinda gas mileage should I expect from it? I know Its not gonna be good, but if it gets under 12-14 I dont want it. lol.

Pretty clean truck too..interior is really nice. $1500.00.

12-14 mpgs is probably what you're looking at for mid-range highway mpg's, city driving would be worse. $1500 look like a decent price for that truck.

Nice looking truck! Brings back memories for me. the '78 we had when I was growing up was turd brown with an orange double pin-stripe. I'll always have a soft spot for that paint job.

This truck has the more elaborate stripe kit, though, and you can see where the hood ornament was. That there truck has the Explorer package.
