Re: Gas Mileage/ Top End Speed for 72 C20

If your truck has the factory drivetrain it will likely have 3.54s w/automatic,if you're saying you have a 402,and the trans will be a TH400. Powerglides were gone by '72. The optional ratios go down (higher ratio) from there. I've driven all day on the interstate at 75-80 mph with 4.10s on a C/20. Maybe you aren't coming out of 2nd.
