if your going for a rebuild then convert to a v8....you wont ever get much respect out of a I6, but you will durability

An I6 will not only outlast any V8, it will out pull it and not complain. True you won't be breaking the landspeed record anytime, but you can still put some juice in that 300 that will have people raising their eyebrows and asking what you got under there. If it is sentimental then stay with the original motor, if not you can put an 8 in, but then you will be like every other truck on the road.
