build a nice beach truck/dd or a nice wheeling truck?

im so confused on what to do, i want to either rebuild my truck into a good daily driver and beach truck or rattle can it olive drab lift it do axle swaps and make it into a wheeler....right now im leaning towards the daily driver side and just getting a nice set of rims and 32inch tires then start fixing and replacing the things that need it.

cab corners arent too rotted,rust on the doors,rear wheel whells, 1 dent on each side of the bed,floor in drivers side. .the hole front clip is perfect and the bed is perfect. 260,000 on cab and 45,000 on motor.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
