Around here that is less than its value in scrap steel.  How could you loose?   :P

For $150 for a running truck... I wouldn't give a rat's patootie about mileage, at least right away.
I've never had an older Chevy 6, but a friend I knew with one said he averaged 15-17... if I remember right.

I would think a 66 weighed a good 500lbs or less though than a square body. Just look at how much bigger a truck they are.
