Call me crazy!

So a few months ago I sold my 04 silverado with 70k miles on it (daily driver) to buy myself my beautiful '65 C10. Been doing some work to it and it's coming along. I have now been driving her to work everyday and I'm finding that I'm really missing the comfort of my newer truck. A 3rd car to commute just isn't an option for us. I am really starting to think of getting rid of my Betty and just getting a newer truck again! Part of it is the impatience of getting the stuff done to my 65 that I want and part of me thinks I'll never be able to get to drive as comfortable and as nice as a newer truck. I come on here and see what you guys have done to some of your rides and it gives me both hope and depresses me all at the same time. I really need to decide what to do and weight out my pros and cons and I figured I'd ask all of you. Help me out guys!!
Please?!!!!
My truck is 65 LB fleet side
350 rebuilt-40k miles
700r trans
Power steering
Power-disk brakes
So far I've swapped out the door stops with the jeep ones to make it nicer.
Cut out all the cancer and have re welded steal to replace it.
Swapped ugly farm rims with glossy black powder coated smoothies, new beauty rings, and original style hubcaps. Got thin white walls for her feet.
I bought her a new chrome bumper, 2" drop spring/shrinks for front and 4" drop springs/shocks/shock relocators for rear-yet to be installed.
Got her rear adjustable traction bar and front sway bar.
Got her a 9+3 "Rebel Wire" wiring harness to install on her as well.
So that's what I've done in the last 3 months I've owned her. Worried about the rain when that comes. Old school windshield wipers are pathetic, the holes on the floor for cutting the rust out make it absolutely freezing in the mornings.....so on, and so on. I know...I sound like a whiny b@?ch but those are my thoughts. Thanks in advance guys!
