Anyone know anyone who may have an idea?

Yea you could use electric fans.. Just like you can put in your pickup...
That would be all you need.

But would it cool it enough to use it for not sled pulling. Say taking it out for a cruise around, scare some Honda kids, pull a trailer. Something useful outside the dirt

Yeah If I had anything on the roof it would be a trailer wing to direct it up and over not down into the bed.

The rear is a Rockwell, easily found in most MD trucks, but I cant remember a model number. I believe the front is just a Dana 60. I really dont know what trans he uses.

An F700 didn't come with a DT466. It's a Ford 6.6/7.8, or a Cummins 5.9 or 8.3...If it's a 94 it's gonna be the Cummins. Many Rockwell truck axles can get down to 3.31's I believe.
