I hate to sound down, but fixing up a NA diesel is a waste of money.
For the box, why duct it? If you don't need the space the duct will use, just chop the top level with the cab.

it wont take me much money, i agree it should have had a turbo. the factory turbos which were becoming available a that time were purposely so severely flow restricted to prevent the diesels from showing up Ford*s 460 big block gasser.
the box height is needed, and there is quite a charm to having that much headroom. the truck will double a shop/living quarters at times.
yes, contemporary boxes ride much lower on the frame, but oh well, make the challenge more enjoyable!
