That's not bad for a 3/4 ton
I just sold my 1/2 ton '83 K10. I was getting up to 17 or 18 mpg on the highway. Never measured what it got in the city though, I didn't want to know how bad it was. That was my daily driver for about 2 years.

Yeah that's basically a granny gear. Do you get it moving in 2nd gear then?
