Old Gold. Recovered Dad's '70 C/20. To do list?

[Jimmora]

My dad bought a 1970 C/20 in 72 (yr I was born) but sold it in about 94. I just found it (has been sitting outside w/o starting for maybe 5yrs) and I'm bringing it back to life. Turns over and is at the shop right now. Needs some minor body work, maybe a paint job if I am ambitious. I'm outsourcing all this work as I don't have the time/skill/equipment, but once I'm fairly reliable I hope to be able to do the work from there.

I plan on keeping it as original-looking as possible. My goal is to use it the same way my dad did - occasional work truck, trips to home depot, etc. If I ever move to a surf town I hope it looks like "Jim's 1969 Custom/20".

My main concerns are improving the safety profile:
--I'll definitely add 3pt belts (any kit recommendations?).
--I think I've decided against moving the tank based on some posts here. I may replace it just for good measure, as that cab has smelled like gas forever.
--I love the bench seat, but I am thinking about adding on headrests. I do nto want to "never be the same again" after getting rear-ended at 20mph. Any ideas on attaching to the original seat or attaching to the back of the cab? I found one very old post that had a beautiful seat and mentioned Volvo headrests attached to the cab, but I couldn't the photo had been removed.

Link to some photos (ignore the video of my kid.... Sorry having some issue removing him at the moment).





Any other safety precautions?
