I am probably one of the guys there who gives FNGs who find the long dead thread on Google to give folks a load of their wisdom a hard time.
48GMC's question post is totally relevant even with the 12 year lapse.
It still comes down to the fact that many of our "I want to keep it as original as I can" guys may have to bite the bullet $$$$ wise to be able to have their rig be able to cruise down the long roads at actual highway speed and not 20mph under it.
Yes there are rather simple ways to have the same and maybe better results. but then for them the truck isn't "original" anymore.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
