Re: Project: Tiki Express, '65 C10 Panel Truck Build

Well had the first big trip for the panel. Drove up to the Big Bear fun run this past weekend. It ran great, love having the overdrive and lot of compliments. Basically ran 185-195* almost all the time (pulling up the mountain about 30 miles ran 195* and 185* most everywhere else). Only time it got a little warmer (205*) was in 20 minutes of stop and go around the lake but once moving, cooled down.

Trip back to San Diego I was able to do a mileage check and cruising 65-70 mph it averaged 16.5 mpg. Very happy with that since we are moving a giant brick. Here's a pic from being in the show.

We were given two ears and one mouth for a reason... listen twice as much and speak half as often...
