1965 f100 help?

Hey guys!
Glad to say my 65 f100 will be getting alot of love here real soon. Plan on re doing her bumper to bumper. I was looking at new truck prices and thought dang if I'm going to spend that much money I might as well ride in style! I threw a rod in my fe 352 about 2yrs ago and she's been sitting since. I have a donor short block I plan on going through. She's a 3 speed on the tree but I definitely could some advice on a number of things.
1. I had a high performance cam in it. Thinking about going to a more mild rv cam, as she will be my daily. (Good/bad decision?)
2. I want to do 4 wheel disc brake conversion, p/s, and a positrack rear end don't know what year truck would make a good donor.
3. I'd like to get hardened valves and seats. Better to just swap heads and if so what year?
4. I'd like to put a c6 in it. I had a bad motorcycle accident and one of my legs just doesn't work the same anymore.
any advice is appreciated thanks guys!

Try asking about your engine on the FE forum further down the page to get more help on the motor.
Up through '72, rear ends have the same width. '73-'79 fronts with disk brakes will swap in.
