New to me 72 C20-BB-CS

This is my new to me '72 C20 Camper Special long bed. Equipped with 400/400, Doug Nash DNE2 OD. Had just under 85K. Small .125" rust through bottom on driver door that my son will make a patch for. Other than that just some surface rust on the roof near the drip rails that I already sanded out and primed.
Bed has been Rhino lined and has a set of 2002 Superior OEM wheels.
Already has a poorly installed Painless wiring harness that will need to be tied up better with wire looms. Newly upholstered seat. Had to rerun the fuel lines and will remove the interior fuel tank and just run the auxiliary saddle tanks. Had to replace the off shore electronic fuel pump.
Currently doing a brake job on it then will be removing the two helper springs leafs (won't be towing with it) and installing a 2.5" drop shackle to lower the rear about 4" and 2.5" drop spindles up front (might also cut one round off the coils if the drop spindles don't give the ride height I am looking for.
All in all I am looking to lower it to just a tad lower than a stock C10 LB.
Trim will be cleaned up and replace missing parts (passenger door lower and rear of the cab) plus straighten the taillight trim. Replace the grill with the no logo 1970 and install LED driving lights where the 1970 parking/turn signals go.
Eventual plans are doing an either 5.3/6L80 or L96/6L80 swap in.
