Yes I bought it on ebay about a month ago. It is a nice truck with no rust! I drove it 750 miles from omaha nebraska to louisville kentucky. It averaged 12 miles per gallon.

I bought a 1973 Ford F250 Camper Special Longbed (check my gallery) late last year. Put over $3,000 in parts into it so far. It's a great truck. Has around 80,000 original miles, but only has 43,000 or so on rebuild. It has a 390 with Edelbrock intake manifold and an Edelbrock Performer carburetor, 600CFM, 4 barrel, and upgraded electronic ignition (Pertronix Ignitor II system with Flame Thrower II coil), and an Edelbrock Air Filter, with Edelbrock chrome valve covers, and tons of new parts. Averages between 10-14mpg now.
