I finally put my '71 GMC on the road this past weekend. Put about 110 miles on it and did pretty good. The notchy Clark 5 speed + 2 speed rear takes some getting used to though. I don't know if I'm not shifting the 2 spd rear right or not but it seems to grind and take several seconds to shift from high to low range. However, it shifts from low to high just fine???
I stopped at the scales on the way home and I was grossing 29K. I haven't tried to calculate mpg yet. But just guessing from the gauge it looks like 5 to 6 mpg running 65 mph. I need to get the tach working so I can tell exactly how many rpm I'm turning though. Just one more item on the list.
