Upgrades for my 1965

I bought my one owner almost rust free 1965 bbw, factory air, lwb, 283 two years ago. as of this time I have upgraded it a lot...each upgrade made my truck so much better...so far I have:

(1) front disk brakes, rebuilt suspension
(2) dropped spindels..2 inch dropped springs in front...5 inch dropped in rear
(3) 5 bolt wheels....72 front wheels..72 camper wheels for the back(wider)
(4) front sway bar
(5) power steering
(6) Vintage air Gen IV
(7) s10 5 speed. with orginal gearing in rear end
(8) 1972 rear bumper with flip down license plate....hidden hitch soon
(9) 1990 chevy truck 60/40 seat
(10) GM 350 crate motor, 1406 edlebrock , HEI dist
(11) Camero steering wheel

this truck drives like a new one...I'm getting 22 mpg on highway ...I'm not happy with the rear shocks with lowered rear...I'm also wanting cruise control....Untill I typed all this down I didnt realise how much I have done....this board has helped so much....thanks..Bill
