The rear gears are usually lower with the inlines. I put an S-10 5 speed overdrive trans in my '67 with the 250 and it works great. It improved the mileage but I don't know how much...

Re: 1968 c10 yellow

My truck has ugly yellow (mustard) paint but it's had that color since 1972 so I'm not going to change it.

My truck gets terrible gas mileage: 10 mpg? It is a 250 I6 with 3 speed on column and 4.11 gears.

I might eventually change it over to a 3.73 gear ratio.

If you like the truck and you have $1200 dollars, buy it. If I find another panel truck, 1967 to 1970, and I can afford it, I'm buying it.

My ugly paint.

That's not ugly, what you have is a purty nice color. I also like the the pedestrian site..
