Official Shift Truck Thread; Woodchuck big bodiez ITT

I’m just going to leave this here. I’m pretty sure we got 16/17 with this in tote with stop n go for the first 60 miles then @ 80mph the rest of the way from Boston to Duanesburg. Stock tune IIRC.

That’s roughly 4500# of fiberglass and big block + 2000# of steel with wheels.

If you PLAN on doing any real towing (say 5k#+), diesel is the best (read only) option. Gas jobs just don’t cut the mustard when it comes to weight. If you’re going to put chrome 22"s n shit on your truck and maybe haul a sheet of plywood or a garden trailer go get a 1/2 ton gasser. Hell, I had a 2wd 4.3 silverado with 260k on it when I sold it and I was still pulling 18mpg out of it. Best cheap truck ever. IMHO, just because my measly Nissan is rated at 5k#, doesn’t mean I’m going to strap a car trailer or boat to it and tow safely on the highway.

And SUPER MEGA +rep for mention of a C10 4bt. Ultimate build right there. If someone does that I want in on the project.

I get about 8-10MPG towing the same size boat.
COME AT ME EVERYBODYZ BRO.
