And, can someone suggest what I should do with the wheels? I realize "leave it like it is" is one option. But I only have three "original" hub caps and the original tires are bad. I've ordered Coker 3 1/4 white wall radial tires. Should I paint the original wheels and add new hubcaps? Or leave them worn looking and buy new hubcaps? Chrome wheels?

Thanks
Repainting the wheels white with new tires won't hurt a thing. Post a wanted ad on the board for some nice hub caps

As for trim, I think I would just leave it, unless you used GM NOS trim on it.

Just beware of some of the crap repo parts.

Polish that thing up, fresh white wheels, white wall tires, a nice set of hub caps, and that will get way more attention than a restored truck
