New to forum and the square body community!
« on: November 26, 2018, 06:18:59 PM »
Hello Everyone my name is Ronnie! I'm new to the forum and I just purchased a 1982 C10. I paid $5300 for it. Not sure if I underpaid or overpaid, but I like it anyway.  8) This will be an on going project truck, but currently drives great. I'm no mechanic, so this will also be a learning experience. I'm an electrical engineer by trade, so hopefully some of my engineering mind helps in the process.  ;D  I drove it home last Friday which was a 2.5 hour trip and I had no issues. I filled up the tank before I left and again when I got home. I got 15.2 mpg, which I was surprised about. The trip consisted of around 1.5 hours of back roads and the rest was highway. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce me and me truck to the forum.

Welcome from the St. Louis, MO.  That is very respectable MPG for any classic!
