My biggest decision is if I should redo the vehicle or drive and fix what breaks . My stepper when I started I was just painting the exterior so I chose the original paint but that creeped into doing the inside of the cab . So now I wish I had just it 503 green .

The other 68 I’m trying to decide if I’m going to LS it or go with the 327 or 402 .

Hardest decision is where to draw the line on an LS swap with the desire to tow and daily drive it.....

Well with my truck (Zooey) I knew she had to be rebuilt like imo an actual truck from then was built. No buckets or buddies, definitely no AC (I live in Nebraska so AC isn't mandatory), no tilt, no wood floor, no frills except for power brakes. Probably my biggest decision for her was what drivetrain she was gonna get. She was born with a 307 and a TH350, that wouldn't do neither would an easy vintage looking LS. So I'm not gonna give away too many details but I hope to have her heart pushing north of 650-700 horses while looking like a stock Custom Camper/10 and her tranny will be a tremic 6 speed with a stock 4 speed shifter lever in the stock location.
