what kind of mpgs and will they take the abuse of 200 mile trips every few weeks?

i found a 93 12v 5 speed 4x4 so just wondering and how much should i be looking at to pay for one in stock condition?

it depends on how you drive. i would say 18-20. i have a 92 1 ton 2 wheel drive with and auto and 3.54s and i have got 29mpg a few times but i also had the frame cut down and put a short bed on it. i usually average 24-25 hwy

I've had serious offers for mine between 5-6k and it's gettin a bit rusty. same 93 ext. 5spd duallie. just rolled 280,000 2 days ago.

as for a 200mile trip? c'mon! I put 200-300miles a week on mine

I drove mine from ohio-pa-alabama then back put on about 5-600 miles or so at a time (just over 3000 round trip) with no real problems. used maybe a qt or 2 of oil. and a lot of fuel.. got crappy towing mpg of about 12 but with current mods that should go up a bit

I think about every seam in my bed is rattling apart... might be flatbed time
