Too bad it's not an extended cab. That would be a great one to have.

You know, I thought the same thing!! But, it is what it is... ... ... ... ... ... ... ain't it neat?

Just for fun, what do you guys think it is worth? It is going to take a very special buyer... ... ... ... ... .

nice work but easy to get 40?

Dont know, I got a 85 Chev. 3/4 T, 4x4, standard 4 speed with 373 rear and it will get 20 to 25. It has the same engine installed. It has a top speed of 65 mph with the gear ratio it has. With that ratio and weight, the millage would be good. The four cy's are a sweet running engine.

It would not surprise me... ... ... .

My Dad had a VW diesel p/up that would get over 50mpg at higher than legal speeds.

My son is on the east coast, near there. I am going to have him take a look at it.

I have that motor in my Case 580 Backhoe and it runs sweet and sips fuel. I would not dispute the 40 mpg claim, especially with the 3. 08 gears. I think alot of bread trucks run that motor I have a friend who put one in an older Chevy fullsize truck it had a TH 400 transmission on it.
