New to me 79 C10 Silverado

[C10Silverado79]

Hey Gang,

I just picked up a 79 C10 Silverado from my father-in-law. It's got a 350 auto with 78K on it. I've been reading through the forum to start picking up on details and ideas for the truck. I don't expect to make any drastic changes but I'd like to do at least some upgrades and mods to it. I figure I'll use is for an occasional commuter and some hauling/towing. I had a 70 C10 CST at one time but kept it stock.

I already have the usual maintenance items planned (fluids, filters, tune-up items, hoses, belts, etc) and I've thought of a couple areas that I'm exploring for upgrades. (Gauge lighting is dim,no tach, possible upgrade of steering column to relocate wiper and dimmer functions, bucket seats). From what I've read so far, some of these will be fairly easy and some won't.

I just got the truck on Thursday and as you can see from the pics below, I haven't had a chance to even look at it much.

I'm open to any suggestions for mods/upgrades and problem areas that I should be looking at. From what I've seen this looks like a good forum to be part of.
