Help! Overwhelmed on Where to Start

[dwhite84]

My first post on the board although I've already learned so much from the collective knowledge here. I recently purchased a number matching 1969 K20 to be my daily driver (I work from home so don't drive much) but also my project car. I even have the original protect-o-plate and original manual/warranty guide that came with the truck.

I was originally looking to do a resto-mod, but the numbers matching thing kinda bothers me. Hagerty's "definitive buyers guide" seems to indicate no one really cares about numbers matching value-wise.

I have to keep this as my daily driver for a while before I can do the frame off resto I want to do - but I've got time to do some labor-intensive work to start making it beautiful. Looking for feedback on:

• Keep the truck original or resto-mod
• What low-cost projects to complete first

I appreciate all of the feedback!
