The truck is mostly a cruiser, might haul a couch from time to time. It has a 727 and 3.50ish gears. I suppose a more conservative cam would be best but dang I love the lopey sound. The 318 is stock original with about 80 k. I wont be changing springs at this time.

OK, with the stock 318 springs, I'd not be pushing anything that revs high and lift maybe to .440" max, and keeping the ramps sloooooow. I think willrun318's cam is more on target; knarly idles come with a cost when your CR is low to start with.
I know I would change the springs and go with a faster ramp.... preserve that low RPM torque for when you decide to haul 2 couches.. or pull a boat up out of Dale Hollow!
I had lunch at the Pizza Hut in Burkesville not too long ago....
