I am happy with my 228. If I needed to completely rebuild it, I would use a GMC 302. My truck is stock except I have converted it to 12 volts. I was happy with the 6 volts until my generator needed replacement. It starts quicker with 12 volts. I use my truck for hauling construction materials and doing dump runs. I like having my old truck be an old truck. My truck moves up the freeway at 50-55 mph.
