Re: Hi, I'm new! Questions about GMC 4000
Howdy & Welcome to the Club.
As an owner of the smallest of the larger Trucks, I can tell you a few things. as a collector truck they are great, as a daily driver, well unless you like taking it easy & don't care how much you'll be supporting the oil companies, you mite not want to get this old of a truck.
My 1965 Rescue Squad gets 7 MPG, so for me its a gallon of gas just to drive to town. gearing is low for pulling power, not why speeds, I get maybe 60 MPH on level ground with a tail wind. Back in the day they didn't have the supper highways we have now & big trucks worked not played, so those problems were not of great concern, and with gas being only about 0.25 per gallon, MPG was not an issue for them either.
I switched out my fuel tank for a 50 gallon reefer tank, so now I can drive longer on a fill up, or more Mile Per Tank Full.
