Matt, don't convert to 9007.
The plastic plugs melt out. Seen it many times with high wattage bulbs.
Give me a minute and I will post some links that will work for your dad's truck that will give 100w high beams using H4 bulbs.
HID is good too, but expensive.

I think that this will be what you want to get for him.
Before they came out with all the molded headlights and everyone either had the 7" round or the 200mm rectangular headlights, one of the first things I would do for any of my cars is get a set like these.
Twice the visibility vs the old sealed beam style.
