If it were me, I'd get a 1978 Ford F250, chuck the stock 400, and swap a built 5.9, 12-valve Cummins into it - either that or a 521 Stroker. A helluva lot cheaper than a new Ford truck. 'course if I go with the 521, the fuel costs would wipe out any any savings between the 521 and a new Ford truck in about a week.
