72 chevy lwb project

First time to post on here. A lot of great looking trucks on this site. I hope I can turn mine into something really cool.
I recently started a build on my 72 lwb. Want to turn it into a shop truck, something to take to the swap meets and shows. It was already lowered some when I got it. Someone cut the crap out of the front springs and took all but the lower and upper leaf from the rear. The rear had log chains and pad locks to hold it in place. HAH Did not like that so I decided to go with DJM (I've heard good and bad about them) I replaced the upper and lower control arms, 2" coil springs on front also shocks frt and rear with a flip kit on the rear. While it is on the jack stands I will replace all the brakes (rotors, pads, drums and shoes. I'm replace the tierods inner and outer as while. I have to get the front tires mounted after that and should be done with the suspension. Interior wise going Mexican blanket clean and simple. Going to make sure everything works like it should which isn't too much really pretty solid truck overall. I replaced all the door latches and handles which was hard to get right but finally made them work. That's where I am at as of today hope to have more build pics soon. Any suggestions or comments let me know. I can use all the help I can get Thanks
the red rims were on it when I got the truck, the pic of the black rims side shot is with just the flip kit installed along with the cut springs in front.
I will post pics of the truck with the full DJM kit installed soon
