That looks doable from a body stand point. A lot has started with less. However the interior looks really good. I think you have a good basis for the project.

so what are you going to do with her???

Got this project last summer needs a lot of work. Missing all wireing and gauges. Have put a motor/trany in it. Installing 70's truck wire harness, rebuild stock brakes and then paint. For now not going to upgrade anything. Upgrades if needed I think those things can be done later. Learned long time ago not to let these project's over whem one. I don't want my project to go on for years before I can drive it around. Sure your plans are based on money and time factor to. Oh by the way we call this truck stinky worst smelling truck ever brought home LOL. I like these year truck's. The more I'm around these 57-60's truck's the more I think there are a tuff looking truck. More and more people are getting interest in these. I agree too, you seemed to have a doable project there! Let us know your plans!

How about useing longer shackle's from a auto supply store or air shocks, or blocks. My 68 I installed helper springs, raised it a little bit but not much though. Also when you buy new stock replacement springs will raise it back up to.
