I've got a '91 Chevy shortbox 4x4 (1/2 ton, auto
w/overdrive) with a 350 V-8 for getting around
and a 1969 Chevy K20 (3/4 ton 4x4) with a 292
c.i.d. 6 and 4:11gears in it for the heavy stuff.
The 1/2 t gets between 12 and 17 mpg
depending on the load while the K20 gets
from 10 to 15. With a granny gear 4 speed, low
range in the transfer case and the 292s'
down-low torque range I'm loaded for bear.
The old Chevy was bought used with 48,000
mi. on it from the original owners' Illinois
estate in 1975. I moved back to Colo. with it
pulling first a loaded U-haul and then my '56
F-100 welding truck. It's hauled firewood
(11,000 GVW), 3 ton loads of gravel,
trailerloads of hay (17,000 GVW) and been my
prime mover for over 25 years. Maintenance?
I've put in 2 waterpumps, a starter and had to
replace the clutch last year when a clutch-disc
torsion spring broke. The old girl ain't fast, just
steady! Oh yeah, I've turned down offers for
hundreds more than I paid for it.
