Hank Hill's 88 GMC RCLB Build

Just read through the thread, truck looks amazing! Is this a true 3/4 ton or a half ton with a 14 Bolt? What kind of mileage do you get running on LP?

Thanks! Im pretty certain its a true 3/4 ton. It has the 3.73 GT4 rear end in it; at least thats what compnine says. The past few months Ive been averaging 7mpg but with the new clutch it should get better.

Owch, 7mpg; suddenly I feel pretty good about my 16. And have you ever thought about getting new wheels? Like PYOs or something?

Yeah, not great mileage but the price of propane is cheaper compared to gas up here. Nah I havent looked at any new wheels yet. Normally I have the stock steelie covers but the wheels I have now came off my dads 06 Avalanche. The PYOs would look good though!

Aaah, ok. I thought it was a true 8600GVW K2500, not a heavy half.

Oh, yeah, my bad. I wasnt sure on what exactly made it a true 3/4 ton. I learn new stuff about my truck every day! Yeah its the 7200 GVW rating. 6 bolt rear end.

Heres the compnine sheet if youre interested at all

I've always called an 8 stud 2500 a 3/4ton and a 6 stud 2500 a heavy half.

I also left out that my truck idled a lot; upwards of an hour a day because of how damn cold it gets up here, so 7 MPG non-highway driving and lots of idling haha.
