Some questions:
Does the speedometer read correctly? If not, this will affect your apparent fuel milage. Can you get the engine to rev at 55mph, while it is still in gear? If the torque converter doesn't lock up, the transmission will still slip, and run at a higher rpm.
When you are driving at 55mph and turn off the overdrive, what rpm does the truck run at? (I forget the switch on my Durango sometimes and it runs higher rpms until I figure it out.)
My father-in-law has had several 360's with automatics and 13-14 is the best they ever did for him. I believe that to be typical performance. One of the reasons Dodge abandoned that engine is because the new 5.7L Hemi can get upper teen milage with 50% more horsepower.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
