I think it depends on your ultimate purpose for the truck. If you planning on resale by all means keep it stock. However, if it's something that you want to keep and drive around for the enjoyment, that's a little different. For instance I drive my K10 '60 Chevy everywhere. I hate idiot lights so I added guages. Some folks like disk brakes in the front. I think if you are going to keep and enjoy it for driving purposes than I think you should modify it to make your personal ride more enjoyable.
