If you are using your truck for personal use, not commerce then you have nothing to worry about.
If you're using it commercially (for commerce) then you have a lot of things to do.

A good tuner, deletes and a clutch and your HO+ with the G56 and it can take the abuse, day in and day out, without having any work done to it.
Put it to you this way, by the time Im done with my truck Ill be in it about 10k. It should top out at around 650 - 700hp.
To do the same with a 68RE truck your gonna drop that on the competition trans alone, before you even touch anything else.

My son and I bought a couple of 2011 in the spring, his a manual 350hp/625ftlbs mine an auto 350hp/650ftlbs. My son had his completely STOCK truck dynoed by the dealer in October and they gave him a print out. 349.4HP @2948rpm and 755.1ftlbs @2146rpm, as I said the truck was and had been completely stock when this was done.

I dont know, nor claim to know. I only travel ~40 miles at most from the farm with equipment. I have no CDL. I, as always, tell everyone to see what laws are applicable in the state and area they live in.
But,
Seeing as you are apparently an expert, how bout you enlighten us. How bout you take each of our locations and spell out the specific laws for each area so that we may operate safely and within the law. Siting of specific laws, and or Federal code will be require for this, so don't disappoint.

Wait, what.
I want that truck. Or a dyno just like it. I should be close to 650/1400 now....
Something smells a lil fishy there.

The farm exemption to the CDL is limited to 150 of "home".

A State may, at its discretion, exempt individuals identified in paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), and (d)(3) of this section from the requirements of this part. The use of this waiver is limited to the driver's home State unless there is a reciprocity agreement with adjoining States. (1) Operators of a farm vehicle which is
i) Controlled and operated by a farmer, including operation by employees or family members;(ii) Used to transport either agricultural products, farm machinery, farm supplies, or both to or from a farm;(iii) Not used in the operations of a common or contract motor carrier; and(iv) Used within 241 kilometers (150 miles) of the farmer's farm.
