Inline 6 Members?

Thinking of buying a '69 C-10 with 292 and 3 speed manual. Will look at it Saturday, but from the photos looks like I might end up bringing it home with me. Biggest question in my head is whether I should consider the swap to a V-8 as part of the future expense of this truck? It will end up being a weekend driver vehicle, maybe haul a load of mulch once in awhile, but no heavy lifting or no towing. Are 6 cylinders vastly undervalued? If I buy it and fix it up will there be enough demand that I can get rid of it at some point? My guess is that with a cam, headers and new intake & 4 barrel I can make as much horsepower as a stock small block without too much $$. Do you guys recommend this or not? If I buy it should I convert it to a V-8? Let me know please.
