In my opinion ....its up to you ....in the end its still a classic...anything you do to improve the rig is a good thing with the exception of hacking it up. Truly one of a kind rigs are extreamly rare and sounds like yours is basic and not one in a hundred so have fun and express yourself. You may suprise yourself. That is the beauty of being a truck owner we dont have to worry about it being an SS or an RS or a super bird or some other ticket definition......Just my opinion....
sorry for my spelling....

Thank you very much for your response! I agree with you in regards to expression and putting your own individual touch on it. All I was thinking of was doing a wood three spoke deluxe style steering wheel since my wheel is shot from the AZ sun, doing the front seat, I was really liking the thought of doing the pickup bed style wood and rails in the cargo area (but I don’t want to devalue the rig), and then maybe some different style 16 inch tires. I am not opposed to leaving the stock ones with the dog dish hupcaps on there. I added beauty rings do they look nice as is, I just need new tires. So other than that I was wanting to keep it as stock and original as possible.

I have had my 72 suburban for over 25 years and love it. Don't worry so much about value, as they always go up. If you like the six cylinder you can always rebuild it and add some performance products from Clifford research to hop it up.
Or swap in a LS and a 700R trans, its all up to you.
I left mine original because it just ran so nice. 350 engine with a 350 trans. It has about 233,000 miles and the motor has never been out of the truck.
For a long time it looked a little rough, but now is painted and has a nice three seat interior.
Its your truck, do whatever you like.
