Gary Lewis Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Great day today. Put the 1-ton to work with 500sqft of WET sod and four humans - one pint sized who asked, “where’s the map?” 🤦♂️ A reference to the giant screens in his parents modern vehicles. We drove 104.1 miles, 10.5mpg. ~$60 for ethanol free. Not too shabby for a 460 with 96k on the clock. I did have to use the granny gear when we were loaded up. Elyza rode so smooth with a full load. Once we were free of the load my friend and I were really feeling the bouncing. Was a fun day helping a friends parents out. I got a steak lunch for my troubles and a very fulfilling day to boot. I was offer some $$ for gas etc and flat out refused it. Was just happy to have this workhorse put a good lap in. For reference. At the sod farm, a very modern silverado 2500 had a similar pallet dropped in the back and the driver waved it out… his truck was pointing to the moon. No disrespect to his truck. Wet sod is a 1-ton or trailer job, I think. Wow! That's a lot of weight! And you are right, 10.5 MPG is not too shabby. Well done, Elyza! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Cecil Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Well, its official. I ordered the wrong size carpet and that is why I can’t make it fit. Pretty mad at myself as i had to make cuts to try and get it in. I did not have the original to compare it too. So, anyone want a slightly hacked carpet??? It is from stock interiors, regatta blue, super cab. NOT CREW CAB. https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n101866/37C81A82-92C6-4D18-821D-0FA3E03ED57C.jpeg Is it still available? lol. I might be able to use it. I did a full black rubber floor in my supercab....I kind of miss the carpet honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, the super cab carpet works pretty durn good in a regular cab. The extra length ran up the back wall to the window trim. Trim holds it in place.
