Question Hello everyone..new guy here.i have a few questions 72c10

Ok so I have this jalopy 1972 c10 long bed...here are the questions I have about it
1) Is it worth the time and money to fix
2) This truck has factory rear leafsprings..does that offer a better ride then coils?
3) this truck has a rotted wood bed but I got 2 parts trucks with this and one has a metal bed should I swap beds or redo the wood?(which is more desired)
4) should I look for a shortbed project instead?

That's pretty much it for now and referring to question #1

Id say its in fair/decent shape
The usual cab corners,rockers are roached(atleast the drip rail,roof is solid)
Info:
1972
Chevy c10
Longbed fleetside
Raunchy puke green I think gm calls it olive green & white pained pinstripe and top
Has original 350 (to my knowledge)
4spd manual(with low)

P.s since ive owned it ive put the wheels on it that I jacked off my chevelle

a bad to the bone 68 impala steering wheel with functioning horn

bucket seats from a 94 cavaliers(3 bolts match perfect only need to drill 1hole if you want the 4th bolt
...I didn't)

Billet grill ,grill bezel,headlights& bevels


71 doors(personally like the metal over the factory plastic)

Also switched it from points to hei


Then the mechanical stuff to make it road worthy tune-up,service (brake shoes,calipers,booster,master cylinder ,ect)

I still have all the original stuff ive taken off btw...I kind of went ham if I liked it...I did it...if not I replaced it with something i did

Dont be scared to tell if its a lemon....I only put a alternator in a Buick...old guy told me to take
all 3 but this one I was able to drive home and only one with a title
I will try to upload some pictures soon

Thanks in advance guys
