A little nose heavy, huh,lol. i love this truck. I was talking to a guy who put a 4tb in a half ton and said he was getting27-30 mpg. He said it wasn't a rocket, but ran as good as one with a stock 350. He told me what truck they came in that had the same bolt pattern as the chevy, but I had a senior moment and forgot. Oh well, nice ride
-
haha yeah she is.. yeah the 4bt was put in bread vans to replace the 6.2. an adaptor plate to bolt the 4bt to the th400 was used.

everytime i see this truck you make me wanna put a Cummins in mine...then i remember how much those engines cost...yea, i know they're worth it, but they still cost a boatload

Great Looking '79, it fits right in next to the Pete and Western 8)

Yeah I too would like to swap in a Desel, but not only is the swap cost not effective right now, but the $5.99Gal Desel just is not appealing(I talked to a Plumber that was here a few weeks ago, and he said that it costs him $120-150 a week for his 20Gal Van, mine would cost double :o).... If I wanted to pay that much, I would still be driving my COE Freight(I Miss it like crazy though! :'()....

...Ya'll paying $5+ for diesel and $4+ for gas amaze me...I'd be moving...Its still well under $4/gallon for gas here..$3.79 right now, 3 stores are dropping it to $3.76 tomorrow, and diesel is in the mid 4's..
I'd like to find a running 6.2 real cheap and play around with bio-diesel and pure vegetable oil systems a bit..the newer diesels have been reporting injector problems with anything over 20%-50% bio diesel mixes run over prolonged periods, compared to petroleum diesel..May or may not end up being practical, but fun anyway..
