No such thing as overboard with any automobile, to be honest, I really enjoy driving the truck in its true original state, but I can see before to long a newer engine and trans will be in the works. I am a major speed demon and going between 50 and 55 right now is fun while I learn the truck, but soon, I'm gonna be craving my usual 80-90 mph.
Your truck looks really cool!
