Wayne, Here is my two cents. I like the look of the crew cab, original wheels and front bumper with proper winch. For the kind of money you are charging you definetly need to get the wheels right. A one piece custom wheel that retains the exact traditional look would be great. You have to give up on that warn winch/ non original bumper setup. Split stock bumper is the only way to go. Also if you are modifying the truck that much already, why not do coil over in the front and air ride in the rear. Or air ride both, with a 1998 12v 6bt in the ext cab and Double cab. I am assuming your client base will be stepping out of a bentley and will like a nice ride around their multi million dollar ranch. My other idea is including repro belt pully rears. Since you will be having a pto, buy the double sided and run a shaft to the back or hydrolines to the pulley and dump bed. Winch setup back there, or a rototiller etc. I was in jackson hole in the spring and did see one fo the trucks from a distance, looked great. I really look forward to seeing some of your tips, photos of your mechanical mods and detailed suspension + engine mounting pics. I didn't like the look of the switches in the middle of the dash. I would hide those if it were mine. Since money is no object for your clients, it would be great to see what you can do.
I would like to be on the list for the repro belt pully, dana 60 8 lug to 5 lug conversion parts, and the one piece wheel. I visited a friend of mine, Rob Lapierre from Plattsburgh NY, in Jackson. Check out the ski movie he worked for called Wyoming Triumph. Good luck and I look forward to your shared info. Garrett - Buffalo NY.
