Try filling Blue...lol

67nukeford 04-12-2011 08:49 AM

Ha! I'll trade you Steve. Diesel is higher, and we probably have the same size tanks.

cowboywanabe 04-12-2011 08:50 AM

Nope, I don't envy you guys... I like that the 79 only has one small tank, but if I drive it a lot, I have to stop every 2 days to fill it, lol.

67nukeford 04-12-2011 08:52 AM

What do you get for mileage out of that Rob? That has a 400 in it, right?

cowboywanabe 04-12-2011 08:57 AM

Yeah, it's the 400. I don't check the mileage very often, it's too painful... lol

I think it's around 10 or so. I got 12mpg with it driving across NE to Cruise Night, that was on the two lanes doing 65mph tops. That was right after a tune up too, so I know it's not that good now.

67nukeford 04-12-2011 09:01 AM

Wonder what that has for rear gears.

cowboywanabe 04-12-2011 09:18 AM

Not sure Pat... I think it is a stock rear setup. I think the vin tag would probably tell me if I knew how to read it. ;)

67nukeford 04-12-2011 09:20 AM

If you can get the VIN number, we can find out. You'd probably want a 3.5 or lower in it, since you don't tow anything with it. That would help the mileage.

I have a 44 gallon tank, and I fill up every month or so....

:eek: Well at least you only have to fill up once a month...

sddesigns 04-12-2011 09:25 AM

or 6 weeks or so....

67nukeford 04-12-2011 09:25 AM

36 gallons, I fill up every week...

can't quite make it a month on mine...

67nukeford 04-12-2011 05:10 PM

Afternoon Trent. I wish I could go at least two weeks on mine! 56 miles round trip to work for me, though.

KOESTNER 04-12-2011 10:10 PM

Good evening South Dakota! Everyone have a great Hump-day.

Oh well...vacation was AWESOME none-the-less!!!...figured I'd swing in and say Aloha to all the peeps I've been neglecting for almost 2 weeks now!

67nukeford 04-13-2011 06:30 AM

Good morning South Dakota, happy Hump Day!

cowboywanabe 04-13-2011 08:33 AM

Good morning South Dakota, we can see Friday from here!

67nukeford 04-13-2011 09:00 AM

Morning Rob, how goes it?

cowboywanabe 04-13-2011 09:11 AM

Another day, another dollar to send to the government....

Trying to get a not-so-fun project wrapped up at work.

67nukeford 04-13-2011 09:40 AM

Me too. Doing a project I've been saving for the outage.

cowboywanabe 04-13-2011 04:50 PM

Howdy Trent, sounds like a familiar tune!

KOESTNER 04-13-2011 09:35 PM

Good evening South Dakota!

sddesigns 04-14-2011 05:03 AM

Good Morning SD! :)

Happy Thursday! :D

Rushmore X 04-14-2011 06:41 AM

Good morning Steve and all. It's my Friday!

sddesigns 04-14-2011 06:44 AM

Morning Trent, at least mine is in sight..lol

67nukeford 04-14-2011 06:47 AM

Good morning Trent, Steve, and the South Dakota crew!

jredline1984 04-14-2011 08:19 AM

Well I am still on the hunt for a 1970 coupe, if you find one let me know!

Happy Friday Eve SD and the BS Express! I hope everyone is doing well this morning!

67nukeford 04-14-2011 08:30 AM

Morning dood!

cowboywanabe 04-14-2011 08:39 AM

Good morning South Dakota and alien visitors. Happy Thursday!

67nukeford 04-14-2011 08:42 AM

Morning Rob, how goes it up yonder?

cowboywanabe 04-14-2011 08:54 AM

Rainy and cold here this morning... the weenies have backed off on their snow predictions, now they say it's just going to be rain. D'oh!

67nukeford 04-14-2011 08:56 AM

They've backed off on our rain predictions now. I was going to hold off getting the boat, but I think I'll go ahead and get it tomorrow.

cowboywanabe 04-14-2011 09:01 AM

Do you just keep the boat in your driveway for the summer Pat?

67nukeford 04-14-2011 09:06 AM

No, the city won't allow it, and it takes up too much room. I keep it at the MIL's farm.

cowboywanabe 04-14-2011 09:07 AM

Oh, that's right... If we lived a little closer to the wife's family and their farm, I'm afraid I might have a few more vehicles! lol

67nukeford 04-14-2011 09:09 AM

That's where I've worked on the 67 for the last two summers. I'm bringing the cab to the house this year, the nephews have the machine shed crowded with their crap that they're not working on....

cowboywanabe 04-14-2011 09:15 AM

Time to tell the MIL that it's time to build another shed for her favorite son-in-law!
