Currently i get about 12 mpg and i haven't checked what it will do on the highway. I was hoping to help things out by adding a cold air intake and a cat back 5" exhaust system and swapping the 4.10 gears in the axles for a set of 3:73's i got for a few dollars. the truck is too old for electronic adjustment. What kind of fuel economy could i achieve this way and am i even thinking on the right lines? what other things could I do cheap and easy.

A diesel can easily be converted to run on vegetable oil. The easist is if you have two tanks, start the truck on the regular diesel tank, then after it has warmed up switch to a second tank containing used vegetable oil you can get for free at local restraunts.
 
Sell it and buy something else. Good luck because 12mpg sucks! I get better mpg in my minivan. lol
