If you are asking whats next, go with brake lines, fuel lines, any wiring that you can do. Install engine and trans and set up a cooling system so you can get engine running while its easy to get to. Once you have engine running, install the cab and start working out the steering column and how you are going to hook up to the rack and pinion.

you contemplate lowering in in the future,This is the perfect time to notch the frame, even if you don't need it for a few years.
