Can't decide what to do next

[lukecp]

I have been slowly working on and daily driving my turck in the almost 3 years i have owned it. Right now, i can't decide what i want to do next to it. My whole drivetrain has been gone through, as well as the brakes. The only thing that hasn't been messed with is the rear axle, which seems OK and dosen't make too much noise. I have narrowed it down to a few more engine mods, or starting on body work.

My current engine runs really well, and has great power. But, i wouldn't mind putting a Comp XE262 cam in it, a new HEI distributor, and Perfomer RPM intake. I have to drive the truck every day, so i don't want to make it into too big of a gas hog (right now i get 11-13 mpg).

Or, i could buy a small 110V MIG welder and start fixing the rust. The truck needs both rockers, most of both floorpans, cab supports, and the lower right fender cup. It also has rust above the windshield pretty bad. Amazingly, my cab corners are fine. I have all the new metal needed, as well as a clipped cab to fix the rust above the windshield.

What is holding me back from doing body work is the fact that i have almost 0 experience at it, besides spreading a little bondo. I can weld OK, but it has been awhile and i don't have much experience with bodywork. I can to the mechanic work on it OK, i have experience with it.

What would you do if you had my truck?
