My very soon to be 54 project

I'm trading my 73 240Z to a guy I know for this 54 of his. Still has the stock inline 6 (not sure of the c.i.d.) but as a whole the truck looks very clean'ish. The 240Z is worth more in this case so he's going to build/install the floorpans it needs for me and repair the rust in the cab corners since he's a paint/body guy. He'll also hook me up with an 010 350 block and heads with lots of work done to them that I'll probably sell as I don't want to build an engine, I just want to find one that's running already. Anyways, it has all the body parts there, just some are removed as seen in the pictures. The only real rust is the pans and cab corners, the rest is just surface rust that'll knock off with a sander and then I'll spray it with some nice flat black primer for a rat rod look, and maybe paint the fenders and running boards. He said it already has widened wheels in the back. Not sure if I'd want rims, or just clean up the stock wheels with some white walls...that looks pretty hot on the trucks I've seen, even though I'm pretty much against stock wheels on anything.

I'll probably just get a 4" dropped axle from droppedaxles.com and hook up a TCI rear leaf kit, and if that 3" isn't enough I'll get some blocks to lower it a little more. Not a whole lot of plans, just clean it up, make it look cool, and drive it.
