Expert Opinion, Original LWB vs Cut Down SWB?

I recently purchased a 69 LWB CST10 with the following factory options installed and listed on SPID: 396, turbo 400, AC, PS, PB, CST, Bucket Seats, Cruise Control. Truck is complete, all options in tact and present, and is the original 396. I am going to do a complete frame-off restoration, and had originally planned to build this truck 100% original, but after much research, and reading many threads on this forum, am now considering converting to a SWB. The truck has a clean LWB box on it, and i have a clean original SWB box I could put on it, so would only be modifying the frame.

Putting personal preference of SWB vs LWB aside, (I think I prefer a SWB, have 2 other LWB) and considering post restoration value only, should I keep this highly optioned truck original with a LWB, or would it be worth more when finished to do a total original build with the exception cutting down the frame, and go ahead and make it a SWB?

I look forward to the comments.
