Looking for some input......

I am posting this up just to get some other input on a project I am considering. The basic question is whether to tear it down and rebuild,or sell it and start with a fresh truck. The truck in question is my '70 shortbed panel truck. For those not familiar with it,the short version is it a is a ex-longbed pick up,cut down to short bed wheelbase,turned panel truck. Has all fiberglass interior,cage,alston rear clip,4 full race 4link,12 bolt rear w/auburn posi,3:73 gears.Turbo 400,shift kit.496 BBC.Front suspension has dropped coils,and custom lowered a-arms. Here is a link to the thread:

I have had alot of fun with it,but it is starting to get to the point I want to clean up a few things. I am wanting to get away from the pro street look,and my plan I am considering is going to keep the main body,motor,rear end,and replace/rebuild everything else.......trans,frame,suspension, want to go to coil overs to improve handling.Want to go to different trans,maybe 700r4 or somthing similar,even been looking at a manual 5/6 speed conversion.

I just keep going back and forth about completley rebuilding it versus selling it and starting over. I keep seeing trucks for sale that are really getting my attention......so, I am asking for input from you guys on here.
