what's the group's opinion of a Ford 390 w/4-speed? Going to look at another cheap truck this PM and hoping it's more what I'm looking for than the last one - this one is a '79 F-250 2WD, so it sounds a little better for towing than the last one...
For some reason, all I can find for sale for cheap is a bunch of @#$%^%$ Fords... not a Chevy or Dodge to be found.
Ebay item 270099214263 is tempting, but I have a feeling it's going to go out of my price range... would love to have it though for sentimental reasons, it is the exact twin of my great-grandfather's old truck (which was in almost as nice shape when he quit driving; my grandfather kept it for a few years and then sold it because he already had a Chevy that got better gas mileage...) except his had a black interior instead of off-white. Just thought I'd post that though because it does kind of make me drool.
