Roy , if ya ain't deef yet you will be . A 4-71 sure ain't no power house somewhere around 110-140 hp been around them back in my younger days , probably why i can hear today hard to believe that a littel 5.9 cummins will run the bag off a detroit . If ya want to go thru all the hassel of swappen out and engine for power a fuel economy there is only one way to go and that is with a littel cummins or a small inline cat with taller gears in the back to keep your RPM down something in the neighborhood of lets say 3.90-maybe 4.30 with and OD on the top road gear. Or just find a nice med. duty diesel cab and chassie and move the service body over . The price of fuel will be the death of the small guy as we can not put our fuel requierments up for bid and get a big dicount like the big co. do . In my wildest dreams i would have never thought that GREED would get this bad .
