[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3126069, member: 15054"] Thanks guys. Will be trying to gather up some friends and relatives to go to thunder valley for fun and grudge/ test and tune night ..ladies and men racing. Will take the truck. It runs well. I do not have any buddies by that name but I have put tens of thousands of miles on it chasing parts and working out of it. The factory interior was nothing but vinyl seat-- I think.. Shiny pretty paint and body work if you do it yourself would cost less than $1000. I have done some shiny cars that i also took all the dents out of and cost was usually less than $600. I do not like shiny..I use my vehicles..drive through the woods tree limbs running down the side of my vehicles does not bother me. Hauling firewood and scrap iron in my vehicles is a must. If I had shiny It would look like crap really quick. Might as well leave it Patina. I have been offered ludicrous money for this thing and turned all the offers down as it is not for sale. I like it and will keep it and enjoy it. The last 350 I had in it got 18 MPG with NO overdrive. City/ highway or pulling my boat it would get 18. I did load it way down once and got 12.5 MPG. Pulling my boat and a 4 wheeler in the bed and 1200 LBS of lumber and steel for a porch. And my son and his friends in another vehicle packed all their stuff and 4 ice chests of goods into the boat. It was packed and off to lake Eufaula we went. I was sad that it got 12.5 MPG. But we used his 2014 5.3 Chevy truck to pull the boat on that trip once and it got 11.5 MPG. I used his truck to haul a Willys Jeep to MO and it got 8.5 MPG..What a putz. Transmission constantly searching for a gear. Fun stuff. [/QUOTE]
