Just saw this on the side of the road and was kinda interested in it. It's a gasser I know, but how are the 7.5/460's??? The truck as 130,000, 2wheel drive auto and the guys says 4,500obo. You guys know any background on these that you would like to share??
what bout 92 7.5L F350 dually??

I ran BRUISER's old tow rig for a couple months before I bought the '89 CTD...
it was a '92 F250 with a 7.5L gasser...but I think it was a late 70's model 7.5L...
he claimed he got 8-12MPG, towing or not...I checked it on a trip to Tellico, and got 4.5MPG towing through the mountains...
however, it would pull anything I hooked up to it, and towed at 55-60MPH up the mountains, keeping up with some of the diesels I was riding with...but with two tanks and a range of only 120 miles, it was killing me...

I used to have a 91 F350 Crew Cab Dually with the 7.5. I drove it from Cali out to here flat towing a 69 Chevy Long bed truck with the bed full of my tools and parts. I was averaging about 10 MPG. I just set the cruise control to 70 and let her rip. The cruise would kick off in the mountains, but it would never get below 55. I never did get to pull a trailer with it to see what kind of mileage that baby got. That thing would pull anything though.
