Yes, although I like what Haggerty does for the hobby, they get a lot of stuff wrong about these trucks. I just watched one of their youtube videos and was riddled with small errors. It is kind of understandable, there is a lot to know. As to valuation, I like to know what a truck is worth but you don't restore these things to make money.

OP: great truck, I wouldn't change too much to be honest. Get some bedwood. Aside from changing all your fluids, start going through your suspension and steering and brakes. People treated them like trucks back in the day, and even beloved family heirlooms take a little abuse. After that, I would personally work on the interior and make it more comfortable. Get a correct radio for it, replace the cracked dashpad, those little things are inexpensive and make the truck more fun to drive.
