bydesign, you probably already are aware, but there are a handful of S1654 conversions on Pirate4x4. I am in the process of doing one myself, and have similar plans for a layout. If nothing else, you should start a thread over there so those who have gone before you can chime in.
Sounds like you did pretty good on the price. Mine was 3500, but ended up needing a bit more than a simple tune up.
My pass-through idea is the same as yours. what are you planning to do to seal between the box and cab? Are you going to include a shuttable door?
