Default 99 Silverado daily driver project

Picked up a 99 silverado black with some kind of dark tan ugly interior lol. its has 140000 on the clock power locks, windows, and seats. Have already welded in a pan and added a set of tinted tail lights. I have a 4/6 drop sitting in the shop but cant put it on till i pick up some tires for the SS wheels i picked up. Picked up some paint to match door handles keyless on the passenger side and debadged the whole truck. Going to smooth and paint the dash black and other peices some shade of silver. Plan to recover the seats or get some ss seats and black carpet that should be it for cosmetics. As for power train i have a 4L80 im going to rebuild myself and 6.0 iron block sitting in the shop that will be the foundation of my engine build. Not sure what direction to go on the motor stroked and on dope or a turbo i am more comfortable with nitrous cause its what i have experience with but turbos are all the rage lol. My end goal is to have a clean dependable daily that has a little go that wont leave me on the side of the road with bs problems. Anyway here is a couple of pictures.

I've never used nitrous or turbos but both sound fun. Should be a sweet project. Keep the pictures rolling in
