Very nice.

How 'bout replacing the 3 on the tree with a floor shifted four speed?

I had an '80 that was a 250 straight six, three on the tree. Pulled the Saginaw three speed and replaced with a 3.11:1 low gear Saginaw four speed, Hurst shifter on the floor. Put dual exhausts on the six. It was a cool little truck -
