Well considering that most 1:1 crawlers using Rockwell axles are tubers of some sort, I'd recommend going with a tuber. Sticking with the scale look, I'd go with the jeep build, I'd recommend "The Wreckluse" from RCP or the Timber Wolf from RC4WD. I mean the main reason to get those axles are for the ultimate scale look. As for trucks I've mostly seen them on 1:1 mud boggers, and pullers. But with those the sky is the limit. Good choice  . You're one luck sob to have the funds for them.

i agree with the tuber idea or somesort of scale build as theres a ton of 1:1 rigs out there running rockwells. If it were me id build a a florida mud,tugowar mega truck. with a riduculous brushless and vtread tires
