Re: 1971 c2500
Welcome aboard! That was pretty big trip with some adventures and hopefully some photos you could share. We love photos here.
I have to admit I don't know what l96/6l90 is? But good on the mpg!

Welcome to the group, Oscar…I really like the way you are putting on the miles! I too am envious of your mpg and reliability…but I’ll do my best to catch-up to you!

That's a neat truck and sounds like a cool trip. As already mentioned, all pictures are welcomed. What is your wheel and tire combo?
