Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?

My 65 lwb GMC is going to be my DD but since my 91 S10 still runs and drives I'm taking my time on the truck. All the bodywork and undercoating is done, the base colors are on and with my tax return the candy and clear will be ordered along with the wiring from Ron Francis. The disc brake swap will have to wait until after the twin turbo 4.8L with 4l80E is in.
With the twins and low boost I can still get close to 20mpg if I'm light on the throttle, my boss' 57 which weighs about the same as my truck makes 620HP to the tires and with a light foot he has been getting 18mpg. Its doable and after its broke in I plan to drive to CA in it to really put it thru its paces. I cant post pics until its finished because the mods I'm doing are one off and I do not need someone to swipe my ideas before my truck is done.
