Then I'd def leave it vp powered with a good aftermarket lift pump and a good tune with a nice built tranny (goerend) and you'll still be money ahead and have a solid truck.

For simplicity 12v or rebuild what you have now.
For power either Ppumped 24v or a CR.

Wouldn't it be better/cheaper to rebuild the 24v than to purchase a used (probably 300k mile) 12v motor?

THAT'S AT THE TOP OF MY LIST,TO REBUILD MY 24V.IT ONLY USES A LITTLE OIL IF I'M LOADED BUT I DON'T WANNA PUT INJECTORS AND A TUNER AND CHANCE BLOWING UP
