Gentlemen - I think you are right! I have a '76 F250 camperspecial with a 460 which is a much more common beast but want the 4WD. I could do an engine swap but must admit I'm getting a bit lazy...
There is one (v8) for $2700 in Maple Ridge I have yet to see. Still, please keep me in the back of your mind if you see an example for sale.

Zip: Your lady would be amazed at the level of maturity you have achieved if you found such a vehicle and then told her you were giving it to an old man in Vancouver - can you imagine the love and adoration in her eyes?

Cheers everyone

Mr. Fixit
