Cell, you can get 20mpg easy by using a good quality carb such as a Weber32/36 mounted on the stock intake, headers, a 3.08 rearend, and a flush bed cover, an electric fan, and a T-5 5 speed and by keeping your foot out of it. Your total cost on all of this wouldn't exceed $3000 even if you had to buy it brand new with no horse-tradin'. I think you could get all of this stuff used for at most about $1500 complete.
At one time, I had the Weber on a stock intake, stovebolt.com exhaust, the 3.08 rearend, the tonneau cover and a stock 3speed trans and I was baaaaarely able to achieve 18mpg by keeping my foot out of it.
