Yea, it has the towing mirrors but I can't get the darn things to go back in. I need to shoot it with some wd-40 to un-freeze them so they will slide in and I don't slap mirrors with somebody on these back farm roads I drive on a lot.
The pin-striping will be first to go. It's an ugly brown/burgundy and already peeled off in several places. Then tint the windows is second.
Today was the first day I drove it to work ... 50 mile round trip. It drives very well for a 350 but higher RPM on the interstate than I expected. Back roads are all around 1,500 rpm and interstate is 2,000+.
It shifts very smooth and the trans fluid was good color and no burn odor.
I also filled the 46 gallon tank up tonite at the truck stop so I can measure my mpg. The gauge showed about 1/8 tank, but it only took 32 gallons. The stock sending unit must be off in the aftermarket tank. So that means I still have 10+ gallons when the truck thinks it's empty... not a bad thing but I don't want to get too dependent on the last 10 gallons either.
