Welcome aboard! That was pretty big trip with some adventures and hopefully some photos you could share. We love photos here.

I have to admit I don't know what l96/6l90 is? But good on the mpg!:metal:

Re: 1971 c2500
 

L96 is a 350 hp 6.0 liter HD truck engine
6L90 is a 6 speed HD truck transmission

likewise, welcome aboard and like to see more pictures too!
