I am dead serious on what that truck did on fuel mileage . that truck made two trips a month from eastern Ohio to Stilesville In. plus all the smaller sales . I would fill the truck up the night before and drive home that evening and the next morning i would leave the house and go hook onto the trailer and head to the sale . The 88 had the dual tank set up and that was 36-38 gallon , that would take me to stilesville and get me back to the state line or the 10 mile marker in Ohio then i would fuel up and use one tank the rest of the way home . I am not tryen to pull your leg as this is what the truck did . Now why mine did better then yours ????? i have no idea Other then i did change the cam timing and i had a different computer in mine and i had the timing set up . The cam shaft was stock put was set heads up with a Cloyes double roller with the timing of a 70 460 and i ran hightest . My truck and trailer weighed in at 15000 empty . Now i will say this , IF you doubt what i say about this truck you can talk with the old shop forman for Donnell Ford . as the one time that truck was on a massive recall and THEY DID a bunch of work on that truck and Wally told me that he had never driven a one ton that ran like mine did . and he will also tell you that he learned more about 385 block engines from me . At one time i was a Ford master tech and i was the head wrench for a Ford dealer's performance program . Now as to my Dodge i have done everything to it with out spending money and getting to wild with it it is fine tuned as i can get it , the pump is maxed out as far as you can take it stock with out buying a fuel plate and getting crazy with a Gov. spring . And i can tell you this that when they switched from the old high sulfur to the ultra low sulfur fuel the mileage went down around a mile and a half a gallon .

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
