Thanks for the warm welcome!

I feel the same about modifying a nice truck, like this. So I'm hoping our modifications will not prevent taking her back to stock. Also, other than the engine and transmission, (which I will sell), all parts will be cleaned, properly treated, and stored in a conditioned environment.

There are reputable companies out there with “Kits” to accomplish all of your wife’s wishes. You have already reached two major milestones. Bought the truck and your wife is on board! Your half way there. The truck is absolutely beautiful as is and you are going to experience some push back from some here on doing further modifications. Ignore them and do whatever makes your wife happy. Happy wife happy life.
