If money, time, and parts were no object, how would you build your truck? If you were given a blank slate, what would you do with it?

Rebuild, re-bore block and heads for 1/2" hardware, heads and block machined for mythical fire rings and fire rings installed. A 4wd conversion, I havn't decided which yet. zf6 (money is no object right?) with brownie 3 speed (ud/direct/od) then divorced transfer case. For the engine, an inline pump off a international 9L. Custom designed boost controller working a parallel pair of VGT turbos (never looked at the type, because I will NEVER have the money for something like that) Fabriate myself an intake manifold. Water/air intercooler, with water/**** injection. Also, depending on if I ever experiment with it, and it actually works... a throttle demand exhost manifold water injection as well (steam to spool the turbo faster on accel) Front bench from a Towncar, a Toyota climate control system. (sorry, but I really hate the ford one I have in my towncar) Rear bench lift, possibly rear bench/bed system. A COMPLEATLY removable 5th wheel hitch, and a pop up goose neck. Epump system (that I still havn't decided on) Custom built LED euro compliant headlights. (ish building a set for my supra, why not use them on the truck too?) 6k winch in front, and 8K in back.

That's all I can think of right now.

BONE STOCK 91 F-350 CCSRW repair or restore paint, seats, radio, and all, to factory original then swap in a ZF-6 with an over/under Add pto or belt driven hyd. pump with a dump bed kit. Add exhaust brakes and a banks turbo drop down 5 wheel or bed ball and thats it I guess, I'm a fan of bone stock trucks restored to as much like their showroom sales days.

I'd pretty much keep mine bone stock and rebuild it bumper to bumper with all the known fixes. Maybe play around with a slightly more powerful turbo.
