welcome to the Bolt 54barnfind. Yep, lots of opinions but its your truck and you get the final say. If its a good example of an original its usually nice to see them "saved". If you have a rust bucket that already has had lots of stuff done to it then have at it your way.
Regardless, we're here to help good sound advice which has already been said. That said I'm partial to V8 in my previous rust buckets
