  1. Do you mean the little Type-5 mirrors? Yes, Cory. This would simply be to lower wind resistance during the extended highway drive.
  2. If I had some, I would put them on for the drive to Skiatook and back.
  3. Great detective work, Jonathan! Thanks for the effort to record.
  4. I don't believe so, Jonathan, but if I get the chance, I will once again attempt to enhance the aerodynamics???
  5. Back in September of 2016, a gas mileage comparison was made. Gary, with his 2015 F150 and I, with my 1986 F150 drove the same route. I followed Gary's lead. We began at Mr. Bass's gas station by filling the tanks as full as possible [each driver filled his own truck] with 100% gasoline [what Gary regularly uses] from the same pump. The loop was ~ 60 miles with varying speeds. At the completion of the test, tanks were again filled from the same pump. This is what Gary reported: This was posted on 9/16/16. Gary Lewis Posting Legend Thread Starter Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: Northeast, OK Posts: 32,866 Well, the 2016 Okie GTG has begun. David/1986F150Six got here about 2:00 and we ran a gas mileage test between his truck w/a 30 year old 300 4.9L six and my new 3.5L EB. We filled up at the same pump, and then he drove right behind me for a 63.9 mile route, after which we again filled up at the same pump. I babied mine as much as possible and got 19.95 MPG. That's the best my truck has ever gotten, and I was happy. But, David didn't know the road and he was trying to react to my moves and stay a fixed distance behind me, so he was working the throttle more than I was. AND HE STILL GOT BETTER MPG - 21.69. So much for new being better than old. On September 20, 2019, the test will be repeated, but this time, after Gary fills the tank for his truck and I fill my truck's tank, we will swap vehicles. Gary will still lead the way. The results will be posted.
  6. Too bad I am not yet ready to retire. I could get the (4) and leave my truck with John Keeline.

  11. This is true. Very true. Had to buy a frame for a 71 vette with dad once. Meanwhile, back to the subject of carburetor possibilities, look what someone did with another like intake manifold [homemade adapters]. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clifford-Performance-Ford-6-Cylinder-Intake-Manifold-Twin-Carburetor-6-8/222931003767?epid=0&hash=item33e7b92977:g:ZVcAAOSwvcVa18ud
