Top End - what else?

[Bone Stock]

Hi all,

I'm in the brakes while the heads and intake are out at Boyette's, in Raleigh. Dropped them off last week, so am already champing at the bit to get'em back!
Super nasty sludge..

What do you all suggest on the bottom end?

I wasn't planning on a rebuild, just a refresh for an old truck that I bought to be a yard truck/debris hauler. It ran and drove into the garage.. so should once I put back together.

The original plan (a month old) was to do the following:
-Brakes (drums all around)
-Valve Lap
-Bronze Guides
-Shave 5-thou
-New Gaskets top/bottom
-Severely Pressure Wash 50 yrs of dirt from under
-Repaint/coat underbody/frame
-Repaint Grill and Bumper and Cab Top
-Repaint Body
Already deeper into it than I'd thought.. but, likely a common theme here!
