Re: Scott's 1972 Chevy K-20. A place to start.

So, I had the opportunity to really stretch the truck's legs this weekend. Having a turkey tag up north, I decided that it was a great opportunity to really see how the truck would perform. While I've driven it around town for a bit, I really haven't had a trip of this magnitude.

All told, I put over 625 miles on the truck this weekend, driving from 1200 ft. in elevation up to over 7000. From Phoenix up to Flagstaff, and hunting up north of Williams, up in the Kaibab forest. I had about 75 miles of the drive with the wheels off of the pavement on the dirt.

During that time I've averaged over 15mpg, and easily have a range of over 450 miles.

The truck, well, she handled like a dream, on road and off.

The turkey, well, they didn't want to reveal themselves to us, but that's probably due to a number of factors, but mainly because of the number of people that were out in the forrest this weekend.... or at least that's my excuse.

Now for the pictures:

And crappy traffic on the way home.
