No problem, But you can't beat a full set of Boyds for $400! Also if you like the wheels on the truck that Toomanytoys posted over mine, than you've got a SERIOUS style problem.

I finally finished my side mount spare tire...I decided it looks best on the passenger side though.

Ummm.....that's different....

**Palf70Step** · 08-22-2008, 09:13 AM

That is the kind of spare kit that will be REALLY useful down here in Mississippi and Louisanna.

bobbo · 08-26-2008, 08:02 AM

You know a spare tire isn't even an option on some of the new Hybrid vehicles. All you get is a small compressor and can of fix-a-flat! Not even kidding.

Name one car that has that?? Toyotas all have spares except the non hybrid AWD sienna vans have runflats.. Thats ridiculous. Let me guess, ford has that kind of spare.

This thread isn't for discussion of stupid Hondas

But here are some pictures I posted on the 67-72 forum.

kyull67 · 09-05-2008, 11:20 AM

No real progress. I wanted to finish the bedwood but I haven't had the time yet. I have no idea what blue bat is. This is all I could come up with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Blue_Bat

Nope, that's not it. Let me give you a hint. Think superhero.

**lolife99** · 09-07-2008, 08:34 AM

kyull67,... I saw your truck at the Midwest All Truck Nats yesterday. Looks nice! What kind of gas mileage are you getting of of the six cylinder?

72BlckButy · 09-07-2008, 09:55 AM

Kyle, it was great meeting with you, and the truck looks awesome. I was wanting to ask the same question that lolife99 did, what kind of MPG are you getting?

And... you should know, racking up over 900+ miles in three months...

kyull67 · 09-07-2008, 11:03 AM

I actually haven't really calculated that yet. I know that it's at least 15 mpg but I suspect that not having a bed floor creates some drag and takes some away from that. Also the 3:73's and four speed don't help much either. I'll try and figure it out on the way back to Springfield this morning.

kyull67 · 09-08-2008, 09:39 PM

It gets driven! My dog enjoys it too.
Sorry, I forgot to check the milage when I filled up.

72BlckButy · 09-08-2008, 09:42 PM

Next time you'll have to bring your dog, he would have enjoyed the show!

Glad to see that you're not scared to put some miles on that thing, because that's why we build them!

Great looking truck, I'm in the process of starting a long box 67 and I'll be following your mold pretty closely. I'll focus less on the motor, and a bit more on the chassis and driveability (it'll be a daily)

Oh, and I tought you might like my kicks today
