"52 GMC 2 1/2 ton 6x6 army truck, it only hauls a few loads a year now but until a couple years ago it hauled most of the crop to the bin and to town. It had the 302 GMC in line 6 that was gutless so I put a turbo on it from a Buick v6, good power then but 3 mpg. Finally swapped in a 454 chevy still using the original GMC hydramatic, power no better but mileage went to 6 mpg! TORQUE
