Well, the Cummins is in a Chevy so thats OK! If the daily driver turns out anything like the crew cab it'll be sick! Keep up the good work.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-17-2010, 04:12 PM

Do you drive very far each day? I have an invision of my 75 mile plus travels each day, and that sounds expensive.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock your truck, just curious because it has been a VERY long time since I had anything gas powered as far as a pick up. Any BBC I had got no better than 12mpg. Anyhow, enough of my BS. Do you have any pics of the beastly engine? I need your BBC for my 40 ford.

I only live three miles from work and our town is about 10 miles from the farthest point to the farthest point so not bad to drive a big block.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-17-2010, 09:18 PM

No, not bad at all!

1985-GMC · 09-17-2010, 10:41 PM
