You really only need to make sure all the systems are in proper working order to be able to use it as a daily driver. Most of the upgrades are really more for driver comfort or increased performance than really being "necessary".
That said, some of what you're planning will be easy to do, and won't keep the truck off the road for too long, but others will require much alteration from stock, possibly even some fabrication and parts hunting.
You may want to start with overhauling the truck in stock condition and see if you like how it drives. You may be pleasantly suprised at how well they really do. I use mine as a daily driver (exept winter months) with stock brakes, steering, and a 3 speed. Never had an issue with keeping up with traffic or stopping. I do have radial tires, definetly a good upgrade.
