Go cummins for sure!
Also - love the handle swap. I will be doing the same thing. I have the handles from an 80's bronco which are similar yet slightly different. I may use those but I like the econoline a bit better (metal push button vs. plastic like on the bronco ones) so if I find a set I'll do it.

I am so jealous, dang its hard to stay focused on a single project.
How did that method of towing go?
Does it handle better then trailering and is it good for long distances.
Reason is I'm going to have to sneak out west and grab up one of those crews out from underneath you western guys.

go with the stroker love my powerstroke in my truck i would love to find a crew cab to put my powerstroke into, also the cummins cost alot to get into any truck and running expecialy if you want to run ford tranny or even if you can find a cummins tranny you will probably pay a pretty penny for.
