I'd go with the Crew Cab 1st Gen. Not only will you get more enjoyment out of it by daily driving it (I suppose you could daily drive the rat rod as well) but more people will see it out on the road and you'll potentially entice more customers. A pulling truck would only be seen on the weekends, and I don't know how the classes are around you, but there isn't a VE truck out there that could hang with most of the 2.6 trucks here, and seeing your truck getting spanked wouldn't be good for business. Plus a crew cab Cummins is just bad ass.
