great to see your truck running, did you decide if you are going to lengthen the rear trailing arms or do some creative bodywork?
wish my truck was as good condition as yours is. I am starting with a glove box door and working my way out, ha ha.
just wondering if you plan on using the headrests on the seats or if they will hit the rear window. that is one reason I am extending the cab on mine.

That was me doing the one wheel burnout. Would not let my son spin the tires yet.

Will move the wheel opening rather than do the trailing arms. Need body work practice.

Headrests will not hit the glass. To insure this, I probably need to move the brake and gas pedals closer to the floor and maybe even make the foot well deeper so I can move the seat up. The pedals are a bit unnaturally high. Don't really like the headrests but do like my neck. They are less obtrusive than some of the seats I have seen filling a big window. I can always store them when parked if I ever get it complete enough to do a cruise-in.
