Its got to have OD or running 43" tires.That is very good mileage.I dont remember ever owning a vehichle that got that good a mileage.But my brand new 77 F-250 used to get about 16 MPG with a 325 HP 460,those were the days before all the smog stuff, and 10.5:1 compression ratios were not uncommon.Just remenescing.

I had a buddy who has a 88 Chevy with a 35X14.50's Thornbird. They look pretty nice, but I would have gotten Tsl's Or the new Radials...
