To me to wear the badge 1st gen it has to have a VE pump. Otherwise it is just a first gen body might as well be a half ton with CR motor in it.
Half the thrill is riding some gal that you think wants to kill you.

If I'm going to have a p-pump I want the newer stronger truck in came in. I'm not against a p-pumped 1st gen but I don't see the point in doing it.
Has a LOT more room in the engine bay, weights a LOT less, has more of a sleeper effect...
450rwhp in a 5,000lb 2wd First-Gen is the same as 720rwhp in an 8,000 pound truck....just sayin.
It's a dying breed and almost an art to make them run. Ya gotta do your homework and lots of trial and error with a VE. Not many know what to even do with them nowadays, let a loan make them make some respectable power. Like others said there are plenty of p pump trucks out there already and it's a fun challenge with the original pump of 20+ years of technology ago. Don't get me wrong, I love and respect the p pumps and i want to build a p pump truck for pulling but it won't be with my 1st gen.
I haven't been spanked bad enough by anything to make me wanna go p pump for the lil amount of money I have into my setup.
When you can beat a p pump or common rail truck in a race or pull with a lowly VE beat to heck farm truck, it just makes it that much better and the look on their face makes it worth it. op:
it's mostly because 1st gen owners tend to be broke-dicks who can't afford to build something like that, so they cling to the purity of their underpowered junk
