Well , Myself i would be thinking about finding a International S model with a Dt 466 and moven the body over on to that and swapen out the rear end for a 4.44 or 4.33 rear gear as you can find them for not tomuch money and do away with the old ford gasser as they did not do well even when they were new , now one thing to check on it would be the power valve on the carb as they do go bad and realy drop fuel mileage as far as travle charges it should be shop rate or road rate plus milage to and from the job and today 2-3 bucks a mile is not unheard of So the min. you pull out the drive the clock starts and the milage rate starts and doesnot end till ya pull back into the drive and step out of the truck. .
