I had a 79 F250 Supercab. It was orange and creme colored. It had a 460 in it and got about 5 mpg going downhill idling in neutral. I liked that truck but it sucked entirely too much gas, and this was back when gas was $1.09 a gallon. There ain't no way I would get one now, but more power to those of you who have them. Someone has to keep them old supercabs on the road.

i hear that all the time about the gas milage on these old trucks and my argument is its restored as new,its paid for,the insurance is cheap,[cost me about 200 year] and i dont have 1000 to 1500 a month payments an a truck that maby gets 20 mpg,plus its not my daily driver so when i do get to drive them i am gonna enjoy it!! ps gas in fox creek alberta is selling for $1.06 ltr = to 3.8 us gal = $402.8 or 4.5 imp gal [canadian]= $4.77 so when if fill up my supercab its usualy a 130.00 bill regurds joe
