I would for the time being probably look at possibly upgrading the braking system, re-gearing to a more friendly gears, and replacing the front windshield to include the rubber and trim. Any suggestions?

I don't think I would worry so much about the garage. Lots of these trucks set out after they are rebuilt. As far as the brakes the later model disk brake, complete front cross members will bolt into your '67 (up to '87 I think) and the power brake boosters up to '72 will also bolt in. Changing the complete rear end is not a major job, you just have to make sure you get one that has the same spring type as yours.(rear coil or leaf springs)
Just take your time and do some reading on here. Use the Google search box at the top of the page for searches and click the circle in front of "67-72chevytrucks.com". There is also an FAQ forum that has a multitude of "How-To's" on it. Good luck with rebuilding the truck and the family...
