As for reliability upgrades, a 3 wire internally regulated alternator is a great place to start. If your ignition system works good, leave it alone but be sure to throw a spare set of points and a condenser as well as a set of feeler gauges in the glove box. If it gives you trouble it would be worth it to put in an HEI. Add in a fuel filter you'll be glad you did, on a 50 year old truck there WILL be sediment in the tank. Other than that these trucks are so dirt simple they're surprisingly reliable just the way they are.
Good luck, have fun, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Send me PM when you get on the road!
