Duh!! You'd think I would have noticed that it was a GMC.... I owned a '71
GMC pickup for about 8 years!!

My oldest brother owned a 1968 GMC many moons ago. What a fun truck, 307 v8
and three on the tree.

I had a '72 Chevrolet 1/2 ton long bed. 350 with turbo 350 trans. I can
sympathize about the gas! I got 8 per loaded or unloaded!

Jeez, I thought mine was bad. I could get 13 mpg (Canadian gallon) on a
pretty level highway, so long as I kept it under 55 m.p.h.
Anything over that speed opened up the secondaries and it fell to around 11.
As you say, loaded or unloaded. Even towing the Starcraft or not towing
made little or no difference.

Lol..........the only way I could get 13 in my pickup was to turn off the
engine and coast down hill, and hope it was a looooong hill!
