Better handling-without the drop?

Hi guys

I just picked up a 71 C10 - ocre, my favorite color His name is Earl

I also have a 67 Camaro. Ive done a few things to the camaro to make it stop, steer and handle better... solid mounts, poly bushings, bigger sway bar and an 89 IROC camaro steering box (love that box)

Now, no offense to anyone, but i like my trucks sitting stock height or a little higher, but Id also like it to handle and steer a bit better than from the factory... without dropping it.

I'll need new tires, shocks, springs and a steering box eventually anyway, so i wanted to know:

1)Is there anything like the iroc steering box that will bolt in and give me much better steering? I saw a toyota box swap for the 50s trucks.. Anything like that for my 71?

2)Any sway bar mods or additions that i could use from newer trucks?

3)Ive heard that air shocks do handle great, but can i get them in stock height or even taller versions?

I dont need 1g+ cornering. I dont need race car handling. Just a little better than stock. Maybe better than my 05 silverado?? Is that possible??

Im open to suggestions that i dont know of too.

I think im gonna have fun with this old truck
