Solid start, what's your plans?

[Jeffabe]

Need to finish the disc brake conversion, run new brake lines, fuel lines etc.
Not real confident in body work done, so may strip it down and start over. Bad paint job on it that would require some serious wet sanding. Think I want to change color anyway.

Truck is very rust free (gotta love living in the desert for stuff like this). Only rust is minor on bed floor, but planned on wood bed conversion anyway.

I've only restored two vehicles before, a mustang 15 years ago and then my 73 international scout. Never really beefed up performance on something. Didn't have the money on the mustang, and hard to get any performance out of a 345 international so both were pretty stock.

Any suggestions?

This is the end goal with some changes. Adding more black to it. Thinking about staining wood bed a charcoal type color. Maybe black rims?
then using some blue accents on the badging, calipers etc...
