I'm shopping for a cheap F150 with a fuel injected engine (I'm fine with the 300-6 or 302...or 351, I guess).

I thought my '83 Chevy dually with a big block was going to be a simple truck to maintain forever. And it is...except I'm tired of spending $20 in gas every time I turn the fool thing on.

I'm hoping to find someone who needs the dually capacity and isn't as concerned about fuel economy to trade me a fuel injected Ford.

I had a Nissan 720 4x4 that I thought would fill my truck need, turned out I needed a much larger truck to do all the things I wanted. So I sold it and payed $2600 for my '94 K1500 deisel. It had about 280k on the clock, but it's a solid truck. The 4L80E went out on it a few months after I bought it (was leaking like crazy so i knew it was on deaths door) I swapped in a NV4500 manual trans and it was the best thing I have ever done. No more slipping and having the trans hunt for the right gear, granny low is awesome also. Moral of the story, you can always have too small a truck, but you can never have too big of a truck.
