End the end, this is your truck, do as you want, we just want you to know, original equipment is not as bad as most think it is once it's fixed up.
My '37 truck is close to original, looks like it anyway, but it has aftermarket leaf springs with custom designed spring rates, later model ( '55 ) tie-rods, adjustable draglink, later model ( 1941 ) steering box, and I believe 1955 straight axle. Over all its still as designed, it rides good, drives easy at all speeds, and still uses truck heavy parts. Disk brakes are the only non-original type part on the front.
