As I stated in my post about tranny options I am driving a 62 c-10 with a 55 235 and a 3 speed from a 57 truck , the engine starts right up, runs great , idles well and so on .So my question is? Is this really normal gas mileage (aprox 8 mpg ) for this truck ? or am I missing something ? I do plan to go with the T-5 some time soon but until then ???
