No. What would make more sense is the manufacturer actually make a pump that meets spec. These trucks didn't need fuel pressure regulators for the first 50 years of life, why the hell would it need one now.
I had this problem with a new pump when I installed a 292 in my truck. Flooded like an SOB found out the new pump was putting out double the pressure of spec. Took it back & put the pump from the 250 on it instead. No problem since.
I personally would try a different pump. Using a pressure regulator to "fix" the problem is like shooting yourself in the foot & then saying everything is alright by putting a band aid on it.
