I thought for sure this thread would turn into a real heated debate, again.

Here's my take on it. If you want a week-end cruiser that see little freeway time, go bone-stock original, if you like it that way. If you want to run with modern day traffic,on a consistant basis, go with the drivetrain upgrade which means the brakes will need to be upgraded to slow it back down properly also. Either way, there's thousands of these trucks out there and that one is yours to do as you please with,
