Improving straight axle front suspension

Are there any tricks that can be done to the stock front suspension on my '49 pickup to make it drive a little better? I know that changing to an IFS would be the best thing to do, but I want to leave it stock. I realize that it will never handle great with the straight axle up front, but is there anything I can change that would improve how it drives, while maintaining the stock appearance?
