Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Why is everyone getting such crappy mpg's? Is it the carb settings? I just have a 2 brl. Rochester on my 350, but I'm getting at least 15.......

Could be rear end: I have a 3 speed on column, 4:11. 250 I6 with Rochester Monojet. It's also anything but "flat" on these roads.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Just seems so weird on the mileage, I get at least 10mpg and 8 on a bad throttle day with hills like Sanfransisco here and have a min of 480hp 454 with big 38.5" tires (heavy) in a 4x4 so still don't get it. Plus I don't putter around but drive it. Tune up is spot on always though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed a B&M Megashifter.
The cab still needs the Stick shift hole sealed, Dynamat, Padding, and carpet. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I run a sm465 also in my gas pig, the Megashifter looks killer, sits up just nice, not to low or high, good choice, does take up a bit of the the box part though doesn't it, how does it work for you.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well, after staring at cut up dash, where the original radio went, i decided to replace the dash. Randy (Teeitup) sold me a nice one and my guys at the shop installed it and matched the anniversary gold paint. Caroline is closer to perfection because of it. what do you guys think???

I thin it looks great and was a steal @ $600 .
I also think someone should help me find one of those original AM/FM radios to replace my AM only one ~ I have the knobs & brackets and will take a crappy one (HINT !) . Early Mono version will be fine , thankyouinadanvce.... You alls trucks are amazing ! keep those terrific pix and DIY's coming .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Here are a few things I accomplished lately, new HID housings and headlights, plus a new Dana 60 front cover for my Currie diff. Can preload the caps with it too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Thanks guys. Yeah, the boys charged me 600 for all the work and I think it was a good deal. Windshield has to come out welded and bolted on, after getting prepped, primed and painted. It allowed me to get the old am/fm radio on there.
As far as the tach is concerned, the truck came factory with a speed minder and I added the tach to it. I need to ad a vacuum/80lb gauge and should be complete then. Posted via Mobile Device
