After I got back from takeing my old lady around the world after a couple of years I'd buy all new stuff including truck. I would keep my mustang and that would be it. I'd probably re restore it..

After I bought the 6.2 Raptor, I'd do a frame off overhaul on my 97.. Keep the original 5.4 block and as much of the 'guts' as possible and bring it back to where it was when it was new... My 97 has been great to me and with over 237,000 miles on it right now, all it really needs is a 'overhaul'... There are some things that need to be done, but overall, it still hauls the #5000 TT where ever I want to and is still getting my 15 mpg average on my daily commute to work..

I would drop some 3.73 gears in it... Don't need much more with only LT 265/75/16 tires and don't want any larger...

That would make it so I could put the original VSS gear back in when it only had P 235/70/16 tires on it!

Anyway, I'd have a bunch of other vehicles that I loved in my youth, so that would take up the majority of my Lotto winnings!

My truck would not change. However it would be parking next to a brand new F250 King Ranch...

I'd go on a road trip. 40 miles up the road to Stealth Engineering for a SRP 1.1 HPOP, then down to Arkansas to BTS for a built 4r100, then across to Tennesee to Swamps Diesel for some 238/100% injectors, fuel system, 38r turbo, and live tuning.
