Welcome to CHR Joseph, great looking pickup. The rest of the mods you're contemplating sound good. Friend of my has a '54 with air ride on it, works great and looks awsome at the shows sitting there with the bottom an inch off the blacktop then goes down the road about the same height as yours. Doing a '71 pickup myself, not near as nice as yours (just a driver) but I did do the dash and console mods. Worked out very well.
