Default 1936 Ford pickup restoration

I recently purchased a 1936 pickup...mostly original. Frame off restoration is in progress. I am struggling with being correct but considering powder coating the frame versus paint. Concourse standards are appealing but want to be able to drive the truck and enjoy it. Powder coat or paint?

Also, original metal bed has little or no rust and plan to keep it. I assume that is the best direction since it seems most don't survive. I need to replace the wood sub floor but want to reinstall the metal bed. I see a lot of wood beds and wondering if keeping the metal bed the best direction?

Your input is appreciated.

Thx sw
