87 resto/build

I'm pretty new here but wanted to share and gather input for my 87 pu build. I've had the truck almost 2 years now. It has been good to me but is starting to show it's age, motor somkes a bit under acceleration, few oil leaks and the trans is acting up. It's going to be more of a mall cruiser with a few trips down very light trails. It is just too nice a truck as a whole to wheel it hard.

Here are some current specs:
swb,350,700r4,np208
new tierod ends and pitman arm
new dual exhaust
New brake system including extended ss braided hoses
2" lift
new shocks and steering stabalizer
new radiator
Swapped factory 3.08 axles for junkyard 3.73 axles
aux battery tray
homebrew brush guard

Future plans:
2.5" shackle flip
add second battery
remove brushguard
add 1" zero rates front and rear
put on some 33"s
replace the rest of the bushings
add sport rear bumper
fix the few rust spots it has
paint and body work
update frontend to 89-91 style
replace all outside rubber
freshen up interior
continue to clean and paint undercarriage
replace trans and motor
whatever else I come up with
