Hello. 70cst

[Nubs32]

New to forum , although not an expert I’ve always been a fan of 67-72 chevys. I recently acquired a 70 cst lwb. It’s a one family owned truck with 53k miles. Paint is faded and peeling where copper was sprayed over white on cab. Has one small rust hole in cab corner and one outer rocker has about a 3 inch rust hole , that’s it. Interior is very nice. Sat for a few years but fired right up with fresh fuel and runs good. Truck is all original with the addition of under dash ac. I removed Box to replace wood floor. My vision was to (gulp) cut the frame and bed sides , lower , disk brakes, big inch small block. you know the drill. But now I’m wondering if this one should just be cleaned up and driven or restored original. Has spid and build sheet. I didn’t take a pic of spid yet. 350/350 Posi. Any thoughts ?....
