Its a good looking truck, i like that color. I'm not sure it will be worth more leaving it a longbed. Seeing as you don't have the original motor, so its no numbers matching. If you do it right, a SB will be worth just as much as a LB just will make tons more work. Thats my opinion anyway. Good luck.
