1700 mile road trip
Well, I finally put AC in the '71 truck, put everything back together and then started driving. I drove from Yuma, AZ to Montgomery, AL. The numbers are in: 11.5 mpg at 65-70mph. This is with a TH350, and I wish I had an overdrive while I was driving.
It was a lot of fun and I got a lot of questions and thumbs up. It's amazing how popular these year trucks are getting.
