Im thinking that you guys that comment about slant trucks have not driven one, mine is an 86 4 wheel drive heavy truck and it gets up and goes. Its all in the gearing. No not a 70 MPH highway ride but still alot of fun.
I had a slant truck, 1986 2wd with 727 transmission, it got 14 MPG and foot was to the floor most of the time, bought a 318 engine/ 727 from same year truck, and get 16 MPG and never have to go over 1/4 throttle and can cruise at 70 MPH all day
