    Iolaus, you make me wish I still had my Dad's 70's model K-5 Blazer. A great truck, although the wheel base was a bit short, especially when driving it with a lift kit, large tires, and trying to get through a turn signal that was already red! Dad saw me do that in front of his service station, and almost had a heart attack when the inside wheels came off the ground. Boy, I did love that truck. I took my drivers test in it while it was still set up for off-roading. Of course, my Dad, being a mechanic, never had time for his own vehicles, so it was always set up for off-roading!

    I always liked the old Broncos. They were real trucks, not like so many of the girly-man SUV's on the market now.:rolleyes:

    Nice monster! How many kilts per tank, uh, miles per sporran, wait, no… I bet that sucker's thirsty!

    Just kidding- I've got an F150 SuperCab longbed with a camper shell (affectionately known as "the bus") sitting in the carport… To fill both tanks is over $100 now!

    Yes it's thirsty; it's got a 351 V8 in it. I used to get abot 9-10 MPG; after I put the 35" tires on, it dropped to 7-8. Needess to say, I don't drive it around town too much.

    One 33 gallon tank at $3/gal is good for about 230 miles. :rolleyes:

    Free people are not equal, and equal people are not free.
    An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

    Good to hear from you again!! Wondered where you'd gone off to . . .

    So 230 miles per tank is assuming that it's 1) downhill with a tail wind, and 2) you don't have to stop for long at one or more traffic lights, right? :rolleyes:
