Factory Original Restore?

[Litdave]

Hello Guys,

I need some opinions on what to do with my 4x4. This opinion is for real (see my other post at http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...threadid=68150).

I have a factory original 71 4WD SWB truck. I have listed the some of the options that are on the glove box sticker below.

VIN: KE141Fxxxxxx W/BASE: 115 SE: (blank)
OPTIONS: Model KE10734
350 Engine
Turbo Hydra-matic
Power Steering
Front Wheel Lock Hub
Side Mounted Wheel

This was not a very fancy truck but would this truck have any extra value if it were restored to factory original? I know factory SWB 4WD are not very common. If not, then I am going to customize it to make it a more “fun” truck to drive.

If I customize it I plan on changing to a fleetside bed and adding a body trim package, AC, tilt wheel, tach, power door locks and windows, stereo, etc?

Thanks, Litdave
