Here are a few photos. Let me know what you guys think!
I have some money to address anything that needs to be fixed and for improvements. I know for sure I want to get rid of the diamond plate and get those quarter panels rust free.

I have been looking at those. They went on pretty smoothly then? Did you do them yourself?Welcome, nice 40! I just used these on mine: CCOT Quarter Panels ~ Die Cut Perfect fit and very nicely made.
No, I have a bodywork guy. I do not possess welding skills. He had both sides fully installed in a day and they look perfect. He said they were great to work with.

Original drivetrain for sure. I want to get the A/C fixed up and probably want to go to disc brakes on the front. A Weber carburetor was added at some point, so that probably needs to be switched out.
I also would like some bigger tires. Would you be against that?
It's your truck! Do what you want man. That's the fun of this hobby.
Bigger tires only with power steering !!!

Good thought. It has 29s right now with no power steering and it works well. When does power steering become a necessity?
This is a very good point. Marshall installed a Saginaw on mine and I was all over the road. With 33's, I have a lot more control.
29.5.
