A small block in such a heavy truck you'll still pump gas. My ECSB K2500 weighs 5600 lbs on the local scale. Without me in it.
Mine gets 9-10 around town empty. I do a lot of short trips, so it may get up to 11/12 if I actually took it anywhere.
Haven't had a chance to get it out on the highway for a nice trip, since I rebuilt the motor.
I can only imagine it would get 6-8 towing.
With a lil luck this truck will eventually be rocking a boosted sbc.
Here are the current plans that I want to have done by mid september:
Kicker speakers in the dash (gonna try to order these on the 16th)
Pioneer CD player w/ bluetooth installed (buying stereo and having it installed on 31st)
Remote starter (see note on cd player)
T bars cranked to level and wheel alignment.
Might try to order rims like C1s in either sept or october and use some of my vacation pay to get rubber for them by winter.
