I miss our 85 K20 with the 6.2L and 4 speed. That thing got close to 25mpg every tank except in the winter when we let it idle nearly three months straight, even then it was not as much as the stupid old D150. It went over 350K prior to finally nearly rusting to pieces, but we held a memorial service prior to it's departure. We sold it to anothe HS kid who wanted to rebuild the body. He did so, but a few years ago the vehicle disappeared. God only knows how many miles were on it, but it just kept running. I think it had more hours of idle time on it than miles running down the road.
It was my dad's work truck for six years, getting nearly 50K a year and not shutting off from December through March, except to refuel. I remember changing a clutch and brakes, along with oil. That's it. I miss that old monster.
