1970 F-250
I bought a 1970 F-250 from a guy in the LA area for $2500. Was very pleased with the quality of the vehicle and the overall condition. 99% rust free.
By the time I got it to Louisiana, I had about $3100 invested in it.

But it has a special history, it came from Kalifornia.
Rust free Kalifornia vehicles you will not find if on the coast.
Call it a shake down trip or a getting close to your truck kind of thing.
Congrats treat it well.

Actually I have a cousin who lives in the Land of Fruit & Nuts. I found it, he went and looked it over for me,paid the seller and had his two sons deliver it to me to Louisiana.
I bought their gas and plane tickets back to the Land of Fruits & Nuts.
Love the truck, but I now had a "Project".
With a 390, it get 10 mpg. Does have air, is an automatic with front disc brakes.

Depending on the gearing you should get better mileage than that, I could break into 15 mpg driving 62 mph maximum with a 414 with C6 and 3.54 gears on 32.5" tires. Just flat driving i'll see 13.2 mpg all the time.
Many people joke about my state of California including I at times, i'm a proud native besides enjoying the weather, high wages and the ocean that's less than 10 miles away.
