Default need advise on bone stock 81'

I just signed up so, Hello and Thanks for having me.

I have a bone stock 1981, .302 V8, 4 on the floor (manual), ext bed and ext cab.

How do I liven the 3 ton beast up? The only thing new is all four shocks and four new tires. Also my gas gauge doesnt work and ive tried two other dash clusters to make sure, so im not sure whats up with that.

Another thing, I got this truck from my grandfather so any thoughts of my selling it for a short bed are out of the question.

It could probably use a tune up, fuel filter, plugs and wires.

As for the fuel gauge, it's probably the sending unit in the tank
