I figure there are two ways to go: stock or modified. If you're going stock, be stock. A K10 short step might be uncommon enough to warrant a stock restoration.

For me, since I wasn't going to Pebble Beach or building a valuable truck, I went stock appearing (except safety). So there's Pertronix ignition under the cap, that sort of thing that you can't see.

But if you're going to modify, I start with safety and driveability:

- 3 point seatbelts
- Upgraded HID or Xenon headlights
- Improved tires, wheels, steering

Then once it's safe I'd improve the driving operation by adding EFI, whatever... but my point is I'd always be in pursuit of a better vehicle, not a faster one, and you'll be much happier.
