If that truck is as solid as you say, don’t change it. Go drive it, see what you think. When you do drive it, enjoy the ride!
I lived in VA and drove my truck in traffic. Everyone screamed past me every day. They were all going nowhere fast. I just went my own speed and enjoyed the slower pace, not to mention the views around me.
I will say that my stock 216 does 70mph at around 3,200 rpms after I put 3.55 gears in the rear. I can’t pull a load, but I can enjoy the ride. That is what it’s all about. You will see!
Good luck,
Chris
