Safety Updates

My husband and I are considering giving our 15 yr old daughter his father's old 1970 Chevy truck. It's been sitting in his brother's garage for at least 15 years now collecting dust and occasionally being started but not driven.

My BIL keeps telling my husband he's holding it till he wants it and my husband keeps saying he doesn't want it (there was some bad blood between him and his dad). Our daughter (my husband's stepdaughter) loves older Chevy and GMC trucks and Burbs, so I've suggested instead of us buying her a truck we just give her this one and put the $5-6k we planned to spend on buying a truck into getting this one road worthy and what ever is left into restoring it.

One concern though is safety. I know we will update the brakes at some point. What other safety updates are out there for these old trucks?

Thank you.
