My 2 cents is to do what you feel you can do. When you bought it, what were you thinking then?
Whatever you choose there are a few things that will stay static: You will need the room to put it back together
It will cost money
It will take time
The difference between Original and Hot Rod varies too:What are your skill levels?
What resources to you have?
What type of space will you be working in?
Do you have help or will you be doing the work yourself?
What do you know about 1966 C10 trucks?
What are your intentions of the truck once it is completed?
Many will say, it's your truck do with it what you want.Make a plan.
Set some goals.
Make a budget (most likely you won't stay within it, but it will make you feel good)
Inventory what you have and make notes on what needs attention.
Look at the trucks in the gallery and other sites, choose something you like and investigate it to see if it's something that you can accomplish.
You can make it look original and still have modifications.
The most notable modification is paint, it changes it from original to whatever people see it as.
Even with after market wheels, a truck can still look stock.
Hang out in this forum Most importantly, don't listen to me, I have been working on my Suburban for three years and it's still a project!
