I can remember gas being less than 20 cents a gallon.... when 50 cents worth of gas WOULDN'T FIT in my motorcycle......

I forgot to add that yesterday I picked up some road flares and a fire extinguisher as well.

 

If I were you I would look for a set of normal wheels and tires ( like 33's or less) on craigslist. I wouldn't be suprised if found some for $50ish. Might save you more in gas. definately would make the trip more comfortable, and easier on your truck...

 

Excellent! Those two items should stay with the truck always. Nothing sucks like rounding a curve at night to find a broke down dark vehicle in your traffic lane. Second to that is having a vehicle fire and nothing to put it out. Third? Slamming the truck door on your manhood. But that doesn't happen nearly so often as the first two.

 

I owned a full service station (remember those?) in 1973. Conotane was $0.299 per gallon. Within a year, due to the Arab Oil Embargo gas shot all the way up to $ 0.549! Problem was DOE limited me to 8000 gallons a month! A bad Monday was 11,000 gallons, so I sold out to my partner.
