New truck practically fell into my arms!

So my boss at work, had picked up a 65 short step 2wd on trade, and wanted to restore it. Well, hes not the best at running a welder, so called upon my help. Before we even got started, his wife said it was "ugly" and she wanted something she could drive, and its 3 on the tree, she cant drive manual. He wanted to keep the 3 on the tree. Long story short, i just bought this truck, running and driving, clean title.

Now im not sure which direction i want to go with it. I know its going to be low, its going on the old BADPANL frame i had, 4"z 3" spindles and bags up front, 10" step notch watts link bags out back. layed body on the panel. Im then going to build a new frame for a new panel. but what should i do with the truck? leave it stock rustic looking on the ground, with wide white? restored looking, yet slightly modern(AOD tranny, new stereo, ps)? Or should i go ahead and just go all out, chop it like 2", fully shaved, fully modded bed, on 20's? Any info would be greatly appreciated, also, i know the pics suck(camera phone), but if anyone wants to shoot ideas, PS ideas, or other trucks to look at, im game!
