Gorgeous truck. Hubcaps is my vote, but either way it will still look great.

On an original that's as sweet as that one appears to be, my vote is: "stay stock."

Stock is good but I like the ralleys. That is what I want my truck to look like when IT is done. Love the color combination.

Looks as good as new. Except the "Straight as an arrow" moldings. Gonna have to take points off for that. The stock ones were all over the place.
Nice attention to detail. I vote for stock also!
Just out of curiosity, does your passenger mirror adjust enough to use? Mine doesn't.

Awesome job, your truck looks great!
I can relate to your project time line, since I have been working on my burb since 1994! (Single, job changes, nutty women, apartment car ports, storage units, lazy body shops, and slow cash flow).

I vote to keep it stock with the hub caps.

BTW, you and I decided to go with the same air cleaner.

Yup!

I am curious to know why you went with headers - have you had some head work done and a different cam too.

Not a criticism, I love your truck!

Beautiful truck!

Hubcaps definately.

I'm curious to the alternator bracket. I've never seen one like it. Much better than the stock floppy arm my '72 has.
