Cool my 68' SWB resto-mod!

I just picked up this 68 c-10 this afternoon after shopping around for a while and haggling over prices, I got him to where I thought I was getting a good deal.

It is my first project. So it will be a slow process.

The power-train is pretty much done. It is a stock LS 5.3 and a 4L60e and a 3.73 rear gear.

Im still reading and trying to learn as much about these trucks so that I can do everything right the first time.

Current mods:
LS 5.3 V8
4L60e transmission
custom driveshaft
cool air intake
4/5" drop kit from CPP
front and rear sway bars from CPP
Brake booster and master cylinder from CPP
16 gallon fuel cell mounted under the bed.
Chrome 20" eagle alloys on 275/40/20 goodyear eagle gt II (for sale/trade - PM me)
Converted to 5 lug
4 wheel disc brakes
seatbelts

Needs (in no specific order):
- front bumper
-bed floor (not sure if Ill go steel or wood)
-I have some autometer phantom gauges and need help getting them wired up, the only one working ATM is the fuel level.
-some interior/floor work - painting, door panel replacement, bench seat is in awesome condition not sure if Ill recover or not.
-radio
-heater control panel
-all new door and window trim (may be one of the first things done).
-replace the grille -has a 57 grille on it and Im not sure it really goes with the look of the truck.
-side markers
-larger steering wheel (current one is tiny)
-no major rust spots, just lots of surface rust that needs to be wire brushed and then primed and painted.

I DO NOT like the 20s, and the front left actually scrubs on bad bumps. Im hoping to sell soon and get some black steels and some big fat whitewalls.

Post up any recommendations!!!

Thank you
Joshua
