I can envision the first mod being a complete aftermarket chassis with 4 wheel independent suspension and disc brakes with a 650+ hp LS engine. Seems to be the way many go now days.
I brought a '52 6500 back from Pagosa Springs, CO about 10 years ago with big plans to remove the flat bed and install a roll back. Had a 292 built for it that is about 350 hp. Bought an '89 3500 a few years later with a Jerr-Dan roll back and decided swapping the beds was too much work and the "new" truck was so much nicer to drive. Yep, sold the AD a few years later.
