I am aware that it will have to be completely gone through, but so would an 80's truck if I got that. I am not looking at these oldies because i am trying to do this on the cheep, I am doing it because I love classic trucks. If I don't get this I am going to get a 61 unibody. I think it is good for advertising and either would be fun to drive. Can I really expect much better fuel economy from an 80's f600? This would be an around town machine. Probably would not drive it more than 20 mile trips tops to get some materials. My main question is if there are places to get brake parts, clutch parts, electrical parts, and cooling parts. I am pretty sure NAPA wont have it and I dont want to get stuck with a truck I can not repair.

Any thoughts?
