What would you do?

I don't know about you all but I love tax season!

Anyways, I'm planning on putting part of my return towards my truck and this is where I need some input. I'm weighing 3 options at the moment:

Option 1) Convert to front discs and replace the 3 spd manual with an automatic.

Option 2) Body work and fresh paint. I'm talking driver paint job here, not show quality.

Option 3) This is the most radical option. I might be able to get my hands on a short box frame with 5 lug discs along with the bed. So I've been thinking about throwing my running gear and cab onto the shorty frame.

I'm really thinking about #3 right now but there's a part of me that is hesitant to chop up a perfectly good LWB. What would you do?
