    1) Stretched Willy's panel or chopped Vicky body. Maybe a humpback panel grafted to the pickup cab?.
    2) Soft springs and stiff anti roll bars, maybe bags on the rear if a straight axle...
    3) Has to be a big block this time, Dale keeps pickin' on my baby Hemi
    4) Has to have an automatic, A/C, cruise control, and killer sound system
    5) Tow Hitch rugged enough to haul #640 cross country
    6) 12 way seat and telescoping column so anyone can drive it
    7) Back up camera , heads up display,
    8) Some crazy mural painted on each side
    ...
    My observations and ramblings on the next 33;
    The back half of the truck frame was mostly just a cage around the Cobra style gas tank and a few bars to make the bed platform.
    The truck cab looks pretty tall in person but I guess you could graft a vista wagon roof behind it for the "hump"
    The longer wheelbase and extra weight might soften the ride enough and "bars" are a must for me too.

    For the record I like Desoto Gold too.
    You pretty much described my choices except for the "humpback" that wasn't something I would have come up with.
