You and me both. Best thing to be put on a vehicle since the steering wheel.I rate 4 wheel drive right up there with John Deere's steel plow when it comes to mechanical improvements.
I know how tight you are so by "picked" I think I'm safe in assuming you don't mean picked up and paid for.These guys in NC are selling old trucks for prices that will leave you shaking your head.
I picked this '69 because is was like a truck Dad had.

But will it pull my trailer?

Figures. Tightwad.More accurately, I selected that picture to post
My dad had a 76 with the 351 got 12 uphill, downhill, head wind tail wind, I think it got 12 with the ignition turned off.The first one my dad had a 1971 2wd that was the same color. Basically the biggest difference is the grill. It had a 302 engine and a 3 speed on the steering column. Dad took pretty good care of his trucks, but that one was an oil drinker at about 75k and the body didn't hold up very well. Also he had a 1978 blue one with a 351 engine like the second one. It was lucky if it got 10mpg.
Always Liked that body style..These guys in NC are selling old trucks for prices that will leave you shaking your head.

I've got 2019 F350 single wheel with a 6.2 gas that has never seen 10 mpg. Last I looked it was at 8.9, guess things haven't changed too muchThe first one my dad had a 1971 2wd that was the same color. Basically the biggest difference is the grill.
