Vortec 350 / 5 speed mileage?

I hate going to school! I'm flat broke all the time, and when deals like this come up, I can't do anything about it.
My 96 is stone dead in the parking lot, and I literally can't fix it becuase it is too cold to move any of the plastic parts without breaking them. Nor can I get it home becuase my dad refuses to keep his truck insured over the winter. So, basically, I don't have any way to get home this weekend. I had a trip to Calgary planned to drop off a transmission I sold just under 1000 dollars, and now I can't go. I needed to get the engine and transmission pulled out of the 93, but now I can't get home to do it. Hell, I am out of food and can't go get any becuase it is downright dangerous to be walking outside in this weather.
I have access to a perfectly good truck, with the ability to literally pay off half of it by the end of the weekend, but my parent's won't help me out becuase they think it has too many miles on it and won't help me with the money up front.
This is honestly one of those rare deals that you only sometimes find, if I had to, I could list this truck for sale on a major advert site and have it gone within the week for more than double I'll have paid for it.
All in all, I am not a happy guy right now.
