Not to mention the rarity and cost of a gear swap and there is no real solution for a disc brake conversion since it seems to cost more then the trucks themselves. The transfer case would have to be swapped out also for a lot of highway driving. A 715 is a good truck to have as a toy or a resto project but not a general work truck without a lot of mods. Michelin XLs or XZLs would be a better tire choice than anything from Interco.

I'd go with the Dodge. Better axles, better engine, and better parts availability. I'd toss the 208 in favor of a 205 though.
