Here's my '71, 350/350, pretty solid but needs some love now. I'll start a build thread soon as I get started on the resto mod. The goofy back bumper is gone, but I'm keeping the tail lights!

Hope all went well on the Power Tour. Truck looks great as usual.:metal:
Could you refresh my memory on how low you are and the specs on your wheels, tires and backspacing? I'm still struggling with what wheel and tire sizes to buy next. Thanks

[quote=BugzC10;6118028]Thanks, Bugz. Yes everything went great on PT. The only hitch was my wife's Mustang had some electric fan/overheating issues. The truck also got around 16mpg depending on where we got gas. Turns out, a carbed LS1 is kinda picky on fuel. :lol:

My truck is lowered 4.5/5.75 and the wheels/tires are 17x8 255/50/17 front, 17x9.5 275/55/17 rear.

I hope to soon switch to 18's. The biggest issue with 17's is lack of tire sizes that look good on trucks. 18's and 20's have more options(If that helps with decision making).

16 mpg ain't bad for a truck .....what would it take to add maybe a FAST intake and injectors....and computer and tuned...? Just writing some of the stuff required started to hurt my wallet...lol. Don't know what tranny you have but the gas mileage should be better. I know there is no comparison, but my last C5 Corvette with the LSI and a 6 speed got 32 MPG @ 75 mph. It was a great commuter car..lol

If you would. Would you give me "first right of refusal" when and if you go to 18" wheels and decided to sell the 17s? My truck is lowered exactly as your...I like the look with the 17s.

68 GMC Work in Progress.

Re: All stepside trucks!
 

I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to get some 18's, so I won't make any promises, because I may forget. If I remember, though, I'll give you first shot at the 17's.

I'm running a 700R4 trans and 4.11 gears. I figure the cost of switching to EFI could run anywhere between $1000 to $3000 depending on which system I go with. $1000 being buying up original GM stuff and either buying a harness and reflashed PCM or modifying an original harness, and $3K being a higher quality stand alone style fuel management system. All of the self learning throttle body style EFI systems run around $2000-$2500 for complete kits. A guy from Holley said the self learning styles may not as good as the original GM system, but would definitely be a big improvement over a carb.

All in all, I wasn't really focused too much of fuel mileage when I put this together, so I'm happy with 16mpg. Especially since my 05GMC only averages about 14mpg.
