Long or shortbed? What are your longterm goals for your truck now that it has a four link/coilovers?

I am wondering how difficult it would be to do a double triangulated 4 link with coilovers ... ditching the panhard bar is what i want to achieve to make a cleaner look for an anti-sway bar in the back.

i am getting close to (finally) tearing into my 83 to start building it for cruising / general asshattery around town with the wife. I would be happy with leaves ... but everyone has leaves. I really like the idea of a 4 link, coilovers, and adding a sway bar to the rear ... who knows, maybe it will see the autocross track one day.
