Finally saw/drove the truck!!

A couple years ago I bought a 54, sight unseen. My father-in-law picked it up and immediately started in on it as he was a kid again. It is a "barn find" original. He switched out the cab and tinkered with it. I'm in the process of moving and finally got into Oklahoma and got in the ol beater and drove it today!! Starts right up and runs like a sewing machine! I'm going to keep it as is and just drive it...was a blast driving it around today and looking forward to driving it more and more as we get settled in.
I'll get picks up when I can.
Question...with keeping it original, how can I slam it without lots of $$$?

Sids dropped axles would be a good place to start. He does up to 4" drop.
Not "slammed" by any means but driveable.
