Heh- Hadn't even gotten as far as the rolling resistance and odometer correction. But the odo would read far fewer miles than actual, and the speedo readings would be far, far too slow as well... unless George had a custom speedo drive gear made.

P.S. If speedo cables twist off on a truck with a 2:1 axle at 100mph, does that mean they twist off on trucks with 4:1 axles at 50mph?
