well some ideas any way as i typed it out, and then read it was sold.......

swap to a 5sp and 318 V-8
that will get you north of 20 mabe..
as well as the truck will be nearly 500lbs lighter..

even the dreaded carbed 360 5.9L would be better then that 8.0L dino juice sucking monster

or put a 4BT cummens in it, the 4 poper version of the 6BT
that will put yea north of 25 when empty.

manual hubs as lots of those trucks have the hole front drive lines spinning all the time on many of the 90s models it seems..
