Man, what a shame they didn't pass it down to you - that is a sweat looking GMC!  I was told at the show my truck would likely go for in the low 30s.  So almost even in what I have in her :-)

As for gas MPG - I am doing pretty good for this old V8 ran on its proper Quadrajet 4 Barrel Carburetor.... 14 MPG on my trip up and back from Kilgore (~600 miles round trip).  I have a way cool progression distributor.  On the fly timing adjustments and distributor lockout (no start) controlled by my iPhone or iPad.  From the outside it looks like a stock distributor.  But it cost a sh*t ton of $$$ too.

As for Broncos .... I could only wish for one of those (or a K5 Blazer around my year model).
