Default 9th Gen Square Body... To swap or not to swap..

Picked up a Beautiful (to me) square body f-150. The truck is just wonderful for being 20 years old. Was a one owner, and has been taken very well care of. Has a rebuilt 5.0 in it now. Runs great.

Plan on keeping it for a long time...so naturally an LS swap has been creeping up in the back of my mind.

Im honestly on the fence. If its done, Id want the stock gauges to work. May be the most difficult part..
So help me decide. Leave it nice, clean, and stock,..
or spend a bunchhh of money, and drop a new heart in it.

Thoughts?

Leave it be. buy one with a bum motor and do the swap, take your time with it, get parts cheap. then when you have it perfect sell this one.

Just drive it. No swap. My roommate has one, its the medium blue color with a 5.0 and 5 speed. I've never liked those trucks but I like those Flareside's after driving his.
