Advice on my first C10 build

[logansrun2005]

Hey guys,
I am new here, kind of excited so excuse my long-winded post.
I was picking my daughter up from school the other day and found this C10.
It's a 72? 6cyl 250 3 on the tree longbed with 75,000 miles. It really caught my eye and I have been looking for a project for the small block build I have going on in my garage.

I paid $1400 for this and thought I got a good deal (did I do OK?). I have no idea what it is worth. needs a rocker and some body work but the floors are fine and I will also rebuild the cab corners.

I will use this truck for feed store, home depot, cruising w/the wife kids and an occasional run down my local 1/4 mile for fun. (Island Dragway in NJ).

Inspiration from this board and all of your incredible builds has given me the following ideas: (Please comment on any red flags or bad moves you see in my ideas).

3" drop spindals
4" spring drop in rear
Appropriate drop shoks
Install my zz4 385hp 4oo tq SBC
All bodywork, best I can, not to be a show truck.
Paint a powder blue or someing close to that
White SS stripes up hood and roof
Centerline wheels of unknown size and width
Custom grill (older model, if I can retrofit like a 68 or something
Chrome rear bumber
Bed cover

Any comment would be appreciated. I will be supporting this board by joining and would really appreciate all of your input. I will give back as much as I can. I will offer my unused and pulled stock parts to members who need them at no charge.

I would also love a rendering of my truck from the photoshop folks and willing to pay for it, I am not sure how any of this works and know how valuable your time is. Providing me info would would not be a waste of your time, I am 39 yo, well funded and not a 15 yo dreamer (not thats a bad thing)!

Thanks for having me here,
Shane
