lol that is basically the root of my problem... i want plenty of power, but I'm on a rather tight budget....
I don't really have any suggestions, but I can tell you what my dad did for his Ford pickup (1948) with this problem....I have a old, rusty '87 ford ranger 4x4 that I am currently fixing up with my dadand I have two questions... First, are there any alternatives to the bed bolts? They are rusted right out and they are like $15 apiece off lmc truck and that is just the bolt then there is the clips which are $10.... So is there any place to get them cheaper or anything I could use instead? .....

He dropped a 2" x 24" board about 5 ft long in between the bed and the cab. Then drove about 40 big nails through the bed, through the board into the cab. Then he went to the cab, flipped down the seat to clinch the nails over and found he couldn't because they were all inside the gas tank. I remember this and his reaction quite clearly, although it was a long time ago.
