Hello All,

My name is Cort and I have been looking for a good forum for my truck for a long time and it looks like I found it! I am in Astoria, OR and I own a '60 GMC 1000. It has 81,000 miles and has the original 305A V-6 and SM-318 tranny. It runs like a top, and from all the different boards I have been on that discuss this engine, I always here about how these things get terrible gas mileage but mine has been consistently getting 12 MPG, which is not great but compared to my '03 Tundra that gets 13 MPG in the city, isn't bad...

I eventually plan on rebuilding the engine and converting carbueration and ignition to a little more modern set-up just for better reliability.

Looking forward to chatting with you all and I'll attach some pics soon...
