Sounds like the spark advance isn't working it's in the distributer and runs off vacuum when motor had load on it vacuum is greater and advances the timing
87 is the short answer. As long as the truck has not been rebuilt all high performance you will
see no difference between the 87 and the 91. The engines today are built with all kinds of sensors
to make your engine run great even when the plugs are dirty, wires are old, and the squirrel is taking a vacation under the hood. Chrysler clearly has not done everything right, but you hardly ever hear one ping or knock because of fuel.
The mechanical fuel pump is mounted on the side of the head, centered
between the runners of the intake manifold. The intake manifold does not
require removal, but access can be tricky. A selection of socket
extensions, swivels and open end wrenches can be helpful.

Your ignition timing may have advanced too far. Or it is now where it should be and is making more cylinder pressure during combustion causing the gasoline to ignite to early causing detonation or ping.
Make sure the ignition timing is correct. If it is try better fuel meaning the octane rating.
If you can go up to the next octane level. For example if you are using 87 go to 89 and see if it goes away. 3 of my wife's last cars a 1986 Honda Prelude, 2000 Neon, and a 2003 Neon had some ping under medium to hard acceleration. She switched to 89 octane and the ping went away completely in each vehicle. Each of the vehicle had a good deal of miles on them.
The 2003 Neon has 75000 miles on it now and runs great on 89 octane. About a year ago I tried 87 Octane in her car and the ping came right back.
