[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3749176, member: 15054"] Average 16 MPG That seems really good to me in a truck. What does this current truck not do for you? What is the current truck? I am one who likes to build my own vehicle and drive them until the things fall apart. My favorite was a 1980's chevy truck 1/2 ton that I stuck a 455 olds into with ported and milled J heads and Qjet carb and a stock cam from a 403. Stupid amounts of TQ it got 15 MPG no matter what. Busted the 10 bolt rearend and replaced it with a 12 bolt from a 3/4 ton and that 3/4 ton still had the springs on it so I cut the eyes off the main leaf and removed some of the smaller short leafs from the 1/2 ton spring pack and stacked all those springs under the 1/2 ton. Fill the bed with shingles and it would barely squat. Wish I had some of those 455 olds I gave away I the early 90's. I would stick one in this current 1980 Chevy 3/4 ton. [/QUOTE]
