Title: New to me C60
Post by: bcmadsen on July 09, 2012, 01:26:34 pm

Hello everyone first time here for me.  I've inherited a 1984 C60 with 366, 4 speed, two speed axle. it's got a total of 18,551 miles on it, the cab was custom built into a super cab with a new interior. It also has a custom built flatbed with duck tail back. What I'm wondering is how truck is this I'm thinking about using to pull my trailer and any ideas about MPG.
Thanks for any info
Barry

Not good but it should do the job with very little effort for sure.  Welcome from NW Indiana.  I would think you should be looking to get 6-8 mpg maybe more depending on the final drive ratio in OD.

I'd live to see it. And what kinda trailer are you hauling with it?

     Welcome from California.  As Zieg said, it will pull most trailers, but don't get expectations on anything better than 6 - 8 mpg.
