I'm setting a goal high people - I want 55+ MPG out of that truck.
Pretty steep goal with a truck.

The automatic will need to come out of it then.
It won't need some mods, it'll need most them or all...

I know it will be a work of patience, and love (not to mention money so pray on my acceptance into what I've applied for).
For many (many) on here, the idea is to sink less money into the car

Slow alone won't do it.
You'll probably also need to gear the truck for that slow speed (50-55 tops ?) so it can maintain that speed at an efficient rpm (well, the engine won't run efficiently, but it'll rev so low it won't use much fuel anyway).
