I know early 70's chrysler land barges had em, don't think that counts for marine, tho. ;)

Just wondering if you are looking for more acceleration from a roll-on or from a dead stop? I don't know if the truck is automatic or not (can't remember if you posted this or not to be honest?) if it is an automatic and it doesn't respond the way it used to during a roll-on acceleration, It could be due to the kick down linkage to the transmission is either out of adjustment or not hooked up?

If you're driving at 45 and stomp the throttle and the truck slowly gradually climbs up to speed, it may be the kick down. If you're driving at 45 and stomp the throttle and the truck gears down and goes, forget what I said about the kick down.

All of the other ideas were great and about exhausted as ideas go, this wasn't mentioned so I thought I'd throw this one in.

the kickdown works great, i had problems with that before but fixed it. i think it may be my return spring and i am talkin bout from a dead stop.
Are you just gonna lay there and bleed or are you gonna cowboy up?
