New to me 72 Sub

I picked up this 72 in Bastrop, TX. It is rust free and in overall excellent shape. The bad rust is pictured in the RH rocker. It will be getting air ride and a super charged 6.0 with a 4l80e trans. I already have the appointment in October to get the drive line done. I have a month to get the rest completed.

I like the outside the way it is so I will focus my attention on the interior and suspension. Someone tried to wet sand the paint, but with some minor buffing it will have the perfect look for me.

I converted my 06 Suburban to a Duramax and my old drive line will be installed into the 72. I can't wait to get started, but I have to admit I know ZERO about bagged trucks, so this will be a learning experience for me. Any and all input on air ride is appreciated.

This is also a budget build. I have the 6.0/4l80E sitting on my shop floor that is long since paid for and I don't plan on spending big bucks for the air ride. I want to keep this simple and clean to start. Then add to it as I can afford things like Vintage Air.

I have been a member here for years under 00droptopSS, but since I haven't been around for a while I decided to start under a new member name.
