Where To Go From Here?

Need some help/ideas/information for my 71. I purchased this truck a year ago and have mostly worked out the kinks in the engine and crucial systems, eg: electrical, brakes, etc.

I want to take her back to the stock paint configuration, although I'm not sure I can establish exactly what that is without the SPID. I can tell she had upper/lower trim and was, at least, medium green with a white top. What I can't tell is if she had the white stripe down the middle. Here are my questions?

1. Does anyone know if they sprayed white into the door jams, or was it external only?
2. Any other way to tell if there was white down the middle? I guess I might see something once I start sanding...
3. Is it wholly impossible to do a frame off restoration within the confines of a two car garage? Can't imagine where I'd put the cab and bed without really annoying my neighbors.
4. If I don't take the thing apart, how difficult is it to just clear the cab and re-spray the inside?
5. I'm considering a 2/4 drop, is it odd to see stock paint on dropped trucks? I personally haven't seen too many around. Seems like it would look ok.
6. Any other suggestions for this old girl?

Thanks!

Here are some pics to give you an idea of what I'm working with.
