Gas mileage
Hey guys, I wanted to thank all of you who helped me tune my carb. I averaged 16.5 MPG's down to the show in Pigeon Forge TN and back.
We drove up in the mountains and it didnt do so good goin UP hill all the way, but with the new springs, it sure HUGS the curves. We had a most excellent adventure
There are more pics of the show and such in my gallery under Pigeon Forge Show pics

Thanks Bobby, we had a great time! How are you doin with your EFI stuff? I got a tip for ya if you dont have a seat yet for your truck? I am doin a headliner in a Dodge Dynasty car, about a mid '90's car. The seats measure 49" from side to side, and have a nice drop down armrests with cup holders in them. If you done away with the headrests on them they would work great in a '48 to '52 trucks.
Roast em' if you got 'em

I haven't made any progress on the truck in ages. Life has interfered with truck time. You know how it is, remodeling rooms, landscaping, repairing daily drivers, going to the lake, etc, etc, etc
Good tip, next time I'm at the wreckers I'll see if I can find one to look at

Glad to hear you guy's had a good time, there sure was a lot of nice looking trucks there judging from your pictures, some I recognize from some of the magizines. One thing that bothers me about shows is the fact that nearly everyone has to have thier hoods propped open which I think spoils the look of the truck.
