I had a 76 with the extended cab lwb and 4wd.
440 auto sob got 4mpg.
It would pull anything any time in any weather.
Traded it off for a almost new 94 Dakota, the payment on the Dakota was cheaper than filling up the power wagon twice a month.
100 gallons of gas each fill up is hard on the wallet even back then. The guy I bought it off of showed horses and had custom tanks built for the truck.

Ouch! I never actually tried to figure out the fuel economy (or lack of) on this truck but I'm sure it isn't near that bad. Although I haven't driven it much I did pull an enclosed trailer to Iowa and back with it. We pulled my open trailer with the Ford at the same time. We didn't have to make any extra stops for fuel with the dually. Considering it was pulling the heavier load and running higher RPM I thought it did fairly well. I wouldn't want to be using it for constant long hauls though.
