Make mine a 292 with 3OTT and overdrive (only available on 1/2 ton I think).

292 with 4-speed in floor would be another pick. 3.73 rear end unless I lived where my truck ended up, then the 4.11 is needed because hills are curvy, steep, and common. No interstate here in 1972.

If my 250 ever goes out I hope to replace it with a 292.

I would have sprung for the 1 ton stepside also.
