I don't drive mine everyday, but do drive it every weekend between 30 and 200 miles over the weekend. I would do power steering and brakes even if you keep the drums. (that's on the top of the list for my truck) Add AC, you'll be able to drive farther and not get as tired. If you have time swap to a overdrive auto (something like a 700R4) to get the mileage up to where you won't go broke driving it.
