Outside of replacing the vehicle, there is not really much you can do. Keep it tuned up, and regular oil changes. These things are notorious for drinking gas. Even new ones. If it has a Quad-Jet Carb-Replace it with an Carter\AFB - Change Camshaft(check with your camshaft dealer 4 correct applacation)---Put in a Lower rear Gear(for the Highway) A GOOD Distributor with a HOT Coil.etc. ANSWER You can install an overdrive transmission. A 700R4 is a very common transmission swap. Your engine will drop 1000 RPMs at speeds above 40. And it has a lower 1st gear, so you use a lower throttle opening when excelerating from a stop. If the truck is a 4X4, you can also swap the transfer case to a NP208C, which is a lot lighter.

How do you make my car get more mileage per gallon?
Well there is not a good way to make a huge difference in your MPG but there are a few things you can do to make it a little better. You can buy an air intake system and have it installed (such as a K&N ). You can improve your mileage just by not letting your gas tank get less than half empty. For some reason or another you get better mileage by keeping it more than half full. You can also increase the quality of your gas by pumping it at the slowest rate possible. Also you get better mileage from places like Shell than you do at WalMart.
