It's so much easier to go the stock or period correct route, cheaper too. You have a fantastic truck btw. This question crosses a lot of truck owners minds and for good reason. Some vehicles. like GTOs, Cudas, Corvettes, so on an so forth have big value due to their low production numbers and big power options and modifying those means big loss of value. So, if your truck has some special niche that makes it very collectable then the answer to your question is simple...keep it stock or sell it for big money and go buy a lesser valued truck and modify it to your hearts content.

Our trucks, as great as they are, rarely have that special SPID that makes them untouchable. If that is the case with your truck and it were mine...I would put some power under the hood, maybe 350 to 400 hp with truck torque, a manual tranny conversion with OD, some 3:73 gears or close, and a sport rear bumper.
