New Build!!! Need some opinions....

[StreetFighterEight]

Hello All!

I have picked up a 1964 Chevy Fleetside. It has a 305 with a stock 3 speed that has been moved to the floor.



The main purpose for getting this is for a cool motorcycle truck, something that I can load the bike up into and head on a longer trip they I would want to ride the bike or want to take the GF.

So now that you know the main purpose of the truck I need your opinions on how I should proceed. Here is what I am looking at:

Motor: 350
Trans: Auto (not sure what Trans)
Add Power Brakes and go to front disk, at least
Add Power Steering
Add A/C (I live in Texas and it is hot...)

I have heard, and read, that I can swap a front end out of a newer, 70's ish, and ill be good to go. Is this the most effective way to get what I am looking for?

I have the room to buy a parts truck but only really what to do that if it will get me 90% of the parts I need...

What are y'all's suggestions?
