Just pick it up! Let the fun begin!

I just bought this 1975 c 10 2wd stepside. It has a 350 w/ headers and flow master exhust, auto, barebones truck but all the trim pieces are there and a little rust (cab corners, rear fenders have 2 small rot holes) Need some help on a few things!

Plans -

After going thru it mechanically - engine, brakes, lights, etc I want to lower it.
I want a aggresive stance but not a road scraper (getting alittle old for that)
I was thinking a 5 in. flipkit and 3 in springs up front.
I want to run 15 x 10 on the back and 15 x 8 on front.
Also it has 8 leaf leafsprings in rear.

Any suggestions? Keeping in mind I suffer from myfundsarelow on this project.

After lowering it I plan to fix a few of the rust spots and flat black it (haven't noticed any in the area I live). Its a solid truck and for right now I want a driver then plan on really getting into major restoration in a couple of years.
