Anyone ever have a hard time converting a nice stock truck into their build?

I do moderate upgrades that enhance handling(no slammed truck), and braking leaving it more original. How often do you need to drive freeway speeds for over two hours at a time? OD trans? Most folks think you HAVE to have OD to keep up with the Jones, baah!! Nope, these trucks have been down the road without OD for decades. Is that $$ you saved in gas worth the $$$$ you put into doing an OD conversion?
Personally, I take the road less traveled at speeds that I can enjoy the scenery, while driving my truck.
Leave it alone, do some moderate upgrades and enjoy that truck now!! Don't have it in pieces for the next 5-10 years doing it because of what the trend is, you'll end up with $$$$$ in it and not enjoy it as much as you can now.
Ride in it.
Oh BTW, the white stripe tires are killer!!
