Engine: 3.6L V6
Output: 323 HP (6800 RPM)/278 TQ (4800 RPM)
Trans: 6 Speed Manual
Mileage: 17/28
1965 C-10 Specs
Weight: 3,220 lbs
Drag: .60 CD (Estimate from an average of full size trucks)
Granted, our trucks may be the least "slippery" vehicles on the road as far as drag is concerned, but they are also slightly lighter than the Camaro... Just some food for thought!

Our admin gal has one with the V6. She went to Portland, OR (5 hrs on the frwy) and got 31 mpg. I have seen her get on it too and that thing will scream if you want it too. Best of all worlds with that engine. She has the auto trans too.
