hauled off some scrap metal yesterday. weighed in at a little over 8100 lbs total each time. got on the 4 lane highway and stayed around 50-55 mph. filled the truck up before i left and when i got back after the 2nd load. went 109 miles on 5.130 gallons of diesel. averaged out at 21.24 mpg. i was shocked!!! this is with 4:10s and 305/70/16s. just thought i would share!

oh man i hope mine makes that milage when i get it on the road, if so i sware i'll buy another one and frame off rest it. think about it spend 10-15k on a full blown resto and have a new old truck that makes 20mpg's, cant get that with a new truck.

sure cant. i wish i had the money to buy one and fully restore it. theres a cclb f350 2wd dually with a banks turbo on it i would love to buy just cant get the money.

I got 18 mpg at my last fill up. I thought I was doing real good at that mpg, over 20 is great mileage!

8100 pounds.... thats about what mine weighs empty with the rear tank full and a smidge of fuel in the bed tank but it wil get a hair over 20 mpg in double over at 62 mph Running around mostly highway it'l average 18.5-20 now ( after extensive modifications if slogging through traffic in town its more like 10-15. Nothing to get excited about but thrilling when you think what a big block gasser would be inhaling

i know it wasnt much weight, but im still impressed! i still dont think i calculated something right. hell i could barely get 18-19 mpg the first time i had the truck with 265s and 3:55s

I really dislike these factory gauges.. The reason is b/c i was estimating my MPG by looking at the fuel gauge and guessing how many gallons i used to go "x" amount of miles.

The other day i acutally calculated out my MPG and i got 18.5 highway & 17 city.
