Diving In w/ 58 GMC Resto What to do???

[pton]

I haven't read all there is to read on the board but I'm looking for suggestions on what to do with a 58 GMC Fleetside. It has a 327 under the hood and there are a few dents and rust spots on the body, particularly around the headlight bezels and lower door frames. I haven't been over the frame, but I think she's in pretty good shape.

I think I'm leaning towards some type of streetable hot rod. Nothing too insane, but something that can be driven daily and still have some get up and go whenever it's desirable.

I've been looking at stances of other trucks, and I'm trying to determine what would be best. Is it all subjective or are there performance benefits with each?

Then there's the what to do with suspension question. I hear about S10's Camaro's, Mustangs, etc. What are the pro's/cons to those???

I have many more questions but like I said thought I'd dive in. I'll get pics loaded up once I have them.

Thanks and I appreciate any feedback. FYI, I'm in Austin, TX if anyone else is here. I see a lot of classics on the roads and in driveways down here!
