Looking at buying a 60s truck for a daily driver. Reliable and fair gas mileage are my primary requirements... by fair I mean 15 mpg combined street/highway. I see on other posts in Stovebolt where changing the gear ratio in the 250 can get you there, but I'm wondering if there is also a way to get that kind of mileage from a 305 V6? Never had one, but from what I've read they get closer to 8 to 10 mpg with standard gearing (whatever that is). Would a change in gearing and perhaps different carbs get the mileage to 15? I see a beautifully well kept 1962 truck with 50K miles for sale not far from where I live. If a few changes would turn the 305 into a less thirst beast, I might buy it. Thanks for your feedback.
