New toy 82 Dodge Shortbed!

I snagged this nice little Dodge D150 last week on craigslist. I've been itching for a new future project to put a big block in. It's currently a slant 6 with an overdrive 4 speed. It will stay just how it is for now, my wife and I will use it as a delivery vehicle for our business, it runs and drives great! It's got 82,000 original miles.

Eventually when it isn't needed anymore I will make it into a street/strip truck. Lowered, fat tires out back and a 400 based stroker. It's now time to start gathering parts and planning the build.

Been getting some differing opinions on how much power these OD 4 speeds will handle. Let me know what you guys think. I know Passion makes a beefed up version of the OD 4 speed.
