Forget economy. Depending on where you are that's a good price!

If the truck is complete and fairly straight, that's a good price. The 70's 4WD trucks are tough as nails and parts are everywhere.
As qtrmiler said, forget economy. If you get 10 mpg from that 360, you'll be doing real good.
I have a friend that had a 72 4WD with a built 390, four speed, and 35" tires. It got 6 mpg, would break the LH motor mount everytime you punched it, and would absolutely smoke the mud tires. Get it and build it!

Great Truck, very strong. Pull the 360 and either buy a stroker crank, or swap in a 460.

Id say its a really good buy! Great truck, tough as they come. If you ever decide you want more power, a 390 or 428 crank drops right in (with the appropriate rods or pistons of course) makin a 390 (same bore for both) or a 410. I have a 410 in my dads 75 F-250 and the torque is unbelieveable. your best mod for that truck will be headers, the stock manifolds choke the exhaust so much that it not only costs power, but the accelerate exhaust valve burnout like no other.

You'll do OK on it.
