New Gas milage Truck for daily commuting

Bought me a new Gas Milage friendly truck today:




























Ain't she long!!!



Got a good look from the front. Kinda aerodynamic looking.



Ooh, whats that? A Dana 60!!!!!



Even has factory drive flanges.



And there's even has another Dana 60 in the back!!!!



With all that, a 318, a SM 465 Granny 4 speed, a NP203 tcase, and a top speed of 45 mph, it gets like 7 or 8 mpg!!!!! Another hydrocarbon powered eco-vehicle on the road.


Gotta love it. 1979, a good year.

I prefer the 4-door crewcabs myself ... the goofy lookin' ones with the shortbeds.

I assume this thang is already for sale.
