Hey Welcome,
I am one of those that likes stock however I made a few safety changes. Electronic ignition, dual reservoir brake mc, etc.

Until I made a camper stand out of my M715, I used it quite frequently, with no expectation of any more than 55 mph.
The M715 will redefine what "extended" means: I took a 150-mile trip to Wyoming a few years back, one that I've done routinely in my '08 Dodge. In the Jeep, it was an expedition.
Thank you to everybody for your input. I'm taking it all in. Right now, I live 1700 miles from the truck (which is still sitting in the field). I talked to a guy that is going to go over and check it out for me this weekend. Like I said, not expecting good news - but at least I will know where I am to start. I'm leaning along the lines of "Teking", do this in phases. First thing first, i'm going to get it running. I am probably not even going to bring it up north for at least a year - after it at least runs. There is no title, but it is in Alabama - so that shouldn't be a big problem. I can get a title for it down there with a bill of sale. I won't be back in Bama until November. So it will remain where it is until then. I ultimately want it to be a RESTOMOD - painted black and updated. I am thinking about swapping it out for a durrango power plant. I have a friend getting ready to off load his durrango.
One reason I went with a Cheby 350 (from a '77 van) was that I will most likely always (for as long as I am around anyway) be able to run into a local NAPA, and get parts off the shelf. Plugs, wires, water pump, HEI module, whatever. At most a day's shipment away.
