"72 swb "on the fence"

Just picked up this 72 a few weeks ago after seeing it for the 1st time last June. It was a local 3 owner that was bought new in west TN. It migrated the 70 or so miles to my area and accumulated 102,xxx total miles. Some how it never was wrecked in all this time and still retains its original paint, seat covers,[albeit the houndstooth inserts will need replacing]. I had to put a windshield in it and get rid of those nasty looking wheels. The look did not do it for me. The only addition so far to the original truck is a GM goodwrench 350 replaced the old one at 66,xxx miles. Some one painted the inner fenders body color, I guess , when they changed the eng. They just didn't bother painting the 350. Here is the on the fence part. I'm torn on how far to take it. As it is right now, it is a fun cruiser, stock. smooth truck. I dig the weathered look that only time can do. It could use rockers and corners like most of them, but then all the paint wouldn't be original. Yall take a look and let me hear some opinions. Thanks for putting up with me, been watching dozens of your build threads for a long time. First pic is how it looked when I bought it. Then as the month has wore on.
