3/4 vs 1/2 ton...need suggestions

[tolly4503]

I have a '69 c20 LWb 2wd. Love the truck drive it everyday. What I don't like it the Eaton rearend, geared to low, and the lack of options with wheels. I kinda wanted to keep it original, but I don't really every plan on selling unless something really comes up. I guess what I'm asking is are there any pros/cons about doing this. The only real hauling this truck will do is getting stuff to build my garage, which will be used to tear the truck apart so after that, it won't hauling much. thanks
