I doubt that you will get much "fun" out of a 2.50 first gear with a heavy pick-up truck? You really need a lower rear end gear to make it more drivable, but that creates highway RPM issues.
These "performance car" transmisions just don't have a wide enough gear spread for trucks as an "all around" daily driver. The generally taller tires of a truck make it worse.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
