went to a local truck show on saturday


and managed to get my truck stuck lol

[choptop]

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

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 )....  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..
