This was someone else's logical conclusion.I'll go for a tight, original, front end; and, an original all-new brake system; and, a 3.55 rear-end conversion; and, a Pertronix 6v electronic ignition; and, high-profile, truck radial tires; and, a 261 with dual-exhausts and dual standard carbs, and I'll cruise all day at 65-70 (done it), at 18+ mpg (with passing power to spare).
It's enjoyable to let someone drive my truck and then let them look under the hood and stare with dropped jaws at a period-correct engine with minor modifications.
Nonetheless,
to each his/her own. I am enjoying reading your postings, Jim, but I think you are heading towards the truck in the link at the top of my post.
