Update, selling 1969 F100, getting better 1972 F100.
I know this may sound stupid, but the truck I have has a 302 with a 4 barrel carb and only gets 10MPG, it has no paint, interior is not very good AT ALL. And it needs ALOT of work on the outside. Being a 17 year-old, I dont have the time or money to restore it. I would love to, but I just cant.
But I am happy to say that I am getting a 1972 shortbed with a 351, paint, good interior, perfect dashpad ( uncracked, suprised me too!) and it gets 12-14 MPG, so it gets a little better on gas.
