My wife said she really didn't hate it, and the coffee has kicked in. My initial thought, new diesel engine, trans and rear end, restore the cab with some new seats and living space in the back. What would you guy do?

That is an air compressor for air brakes and has been my source of double groove crank pulleys for Stovebolt and Jimmy engines for years. That is very old and looks like it uses 7/8" belt but they also were used with narrower belts.
