Re: 1972 Longhorn
The best your ever going to get out of one of these trucks with a carbureted 350 is 14 mpg tops. If you cant live with that then you'll have to spend the money to convert to fuel injection. It's your choice but the way I see it is; If your looking for mileage get a new truck. If you want to drive and enjoy an unmolested classic then your grampa's truck is a good one...Personally, I'm attaching an addendum to my trucks (two 72's) that they stay as is or nobody gets them!
