D100 Pickup question for you:

All good comments and thank you!
Mine is a short bed Utiline. It came off the line as work truck, for sure. This truck will have an easy life...the body is great and needs so very little. The only real work it will do, is hauling a cooler full of beer.

I'm really asking if anyone has had success with higher rear end gears, to require the use of 1st gear and resulting in increased speed in 4th.
