If you had a 3/4T, switching to the 4:10 rear-end from an approx. '68-'72 would improve road speed and is an easy swap. Don't forgot to look at those brakes if you intend to go freeway speed. A dual reservoir master cylinder and a new front end with disc brakes would be very good.
Any relation to Prouty Insurance which used to be in Poulsbo? Former NKHS grad here.
