my '67 K10 burb was all stock when I got it and driving on the freeway at speed was not a problem even though everything was old and original, suspension wise. I picked up a '68 K20 Gmc truck that had lived in the snow all its life and was pretty beat up, but it had an old custom made lift on it, so I swapped the axles and springs over to my burb and the burb stuff back over to the truck with not too many headaches. So now I have '68 3/4 ton axles under my 1/2 ton burb with a little lift to clear some 37 inch tires. I don't have power steering but it doesn't seem to be a problem and driving on the freeway isn't any harder than before the swap.
