Thank you! I got an update for you! We took the truck to the Redneck Rumble which is a large pre-1968 car show that is heavily rat rod or "recession" rodding as I like to call it influenced. The truck did great on the way up and back. I will try to post a lot of pictures as soon as I get time. Maybe tonight.

I can say this. The trip was about 270 miles round trip. We drove a two lane on the way up going about 55 mph. On the way home we took the highway going about 65-70, sometimes faster . We averaged right around 22 mpg! 270 miles on 12 gallons! I also weighed the truck this weekend on the CAT scales on the local truck stop. Total was 5520 lbs. I think the steering axle was 3420 lbs and drive axle was 2100 lbs. Add on 300 lbs for our two coolers, my tool box, our clothes for the weekend, and my wife and that brings us around 5800 lbs gross weight. So a 5800 lb 4WD 1 ton truck on 37 inch tires getting 22 mpg is insane! This is about the same mileage I have gotten before which was right at 21 mpg.

:p One day our two trucks are going to get there pictures taken side by side!

The other cool projects are currently on hold due to some bad health issues right now in my family. Say a prayer for my family if you have a chance. I'm putting my faith in the Almighty, Jesus Christ.

I will post some pictures tonight hopefully. Good to hear from you guys!
