I'm thinking I'll be sticking close to stock, but with a few "bolt-on" mods. We bought this for fun and use it to get away. I don't want it to just be a garage queen.
I can see a mild lift (is it better to do a body lift or suspension?). I'd like to find a period front bumper that could take a winch (the original one on the truck is bent, so I have to do something with it anyway). I also really liked this rear bumper:

For getting away, I'd also like a cargo carrier on the roof.
When I filled it up with Gas for the trip home, I found out the front tank leaks. Today when it warms up a little I have to see what's up with it. The guy I bought it from said he'd replaced hoses on it, so maybe this will only be a question of tightening things up.
I was originally planning a "family roll bar", but now I'm not so sure.
My wife is really partial to yellow and picked these photos out for a target color.
I'm a bit torn between the copper color and the yellow but not enough for it to be a big discussion.
