Bought this truck about 2 month ago. After finding this site and reading through alot of post I thought I would put a couple pictures of mine up. 1st one is from when I bought it, the 2nd was yesterday morning. I took the bumper off and remounted the lights, the bumper was a little bent up. I pulled the bench seat out and put in a couple Mazda Miata seats, Much more comfortable. The guy I bought it from had the weber carb on it but I changed back to the original hoping for better fuel millage(was only getting 15-16MPG). What kind of MPG should I expect?

well lets see i work 45 miles from home and was brave enough to take my luv to work one day and it took just over 2 gallons so i guess it aint bad for that little v6 with a edelbrock 650.
only problem i had was it got up 240 deg.
haven't taken it since

Finially got it out and ran a tank of gas through it, Still only 16 miles to the gallon. About half my commute is on the highway at 55-60 the the rest is about 35MPH.
