Thanks...

This has the 351 GMC V6 (GMC had their own line of V6's ranging from 305 to 478 cubes). Around town it's not great, a rough guess is 6+/-, hard to tell. When I road tripped it loaded to a tractor show in June, I got 7-8mpg. Which for what it is, I was happy with that.

Someone may know more... the cabs on the LCF's were mounted farther forward over the engine to eek out more room for a body. I think the cab height was raised but don't hold me to it... they do look a bit taller.

Hopefully the deal goes through. If you go the oversized pickup route you'll have to scrounge up a good 60-66 bed. There ain't many here in NE...

Yeah the one big thing that sucks about being in the NE is the quality of stuff up here. Everything’s rusted out and they still want to charge an arm and a leg. Well as long as I don’t daily my project and project my daily, I think finding a good bed won’t be a problem because I’ll take all the time I need. And thanks so much for the advice, it means a lot. I’m young and I’m just trying to make my way into this and have fun with it.
