Re: Lets see them!!
Here is my old 84 1/2 ton 4wd. 454 speed 205, 35s with 4.10s. It actually didn't get that bad of mileage if you drove it normal. Speedo didn't work for a long time so couldn't get accurate anyways. Miss the truck already.

Re: Lets see them!!
Im pretty sure 79 would have been blue. My 82 dually 454 single cab has the original unmolested 454 and its blue. I have 4-11 gears and highway driving around 55-65 I get an average of 12mpg.
