   I wouldn't bother with any of the fancy platinum plugs with
600 electrodes or anything like that; a plain ol' set of Autolites
or Champion Truck plugs should work great. I'd gap 'em at the
stock .035, slap 'em in the heads and call it a day. :-) If
you want that little bit extra, you could index them, but I
wouldn't bother on a bone stock truck. I would recommend putting
just a touch of anti-sieze on the threads before installing
them though to make 'em easier to remove later.
