Hard Decision but need an Answer.
Hi guys, i have a chance to buy a 1990 F-150 LWB, its black, 351 unknown M, C, or W. 4spd alum. wheels, pl, pw, ps, ac, 6 inch lift 33 inch tires. He wants 1,995 for it, and i was reading the classifieds and thought it was a hell of a steel, called him up and im going to see it tomorrow. If yall dont know my truck, its an 80 F-150 Lwb 351M 4spd 32 inch tires, everything else stock, bought for 1500$$, should i try to sell my truck for more and buy the new truck or keep it, im getting 10 now, and the guy said he gets 13-20, is this true, should i get it, i think the 90's are kinda ugly but it has a grille guard or mask, hell, you can get it on w/ a girl w/ a sack over her head right, you just cant tell if shes pretty or not, thats what my dad said, so im not real worried about looks, its FE and mines carburated, so should i buy or stick with what i have, i dont know how to do a poll so ill just keep track.

It will be a 351W. None of the other 351's were in use by 1990, and the W is the only one to ever get EFI.
13-20 mpg is an outright lie. No way that truck gets 20mpg unless it's on a tow truck. 13-15 is a more accurate range for a stock truck. With 33's and a four speed w/no overdrive, I would expect to see closer to 10-12.
Even so, $2k is a good deal for that truck assuming the body is solid.
