Re: Frankentruck
Been racking up some highway miles in Frankentruck a lot recently. The 3 speed overdrive makes the drive so much easier. I’ve been running consistently at about 2400 rpm, which according to my calculations is about 82 mph. Not bad for an old rust bucket. Also, based on really rough guesstimates (odometer broken), it appears I’m getting around 18 mpgs at that speed on the interstate. I’ll take that for sure.
Went turkey hunting on Saturday, so of course I had to get some pictures of an old farm truck back on an old farm. Didn’t see any turkeys though.
