My previous truck was a 97 gmc with a 350. Made about 320hp and on the best day got 17mpg.
A modern half ton with a similar size engine will make well over 400hp and get slightly better mileage. That is a huge improvement in a little over 10 years.

2004 Silverado
2013 Silverado
2004 - 295 hp (13-21)
2013 - 315 hp (15-21)
I wouldn't call that a very big improvement.
