Cowboyford16, Im lookin for a 4x4 donor truck, yet if I manage to get a 4x4 under it, youll play hell pryin the keys from my cold dead hands... Up next, repainted and installed bumpers and rack... And more after that! (unless my dodge drains my budget)
hahaha I know how you feel bud and good luck tryin to find a donor. And awesome progress on your truck. I really like that color

As for wheels, what all makes of trucks can I use em off of? Say, if I got some aftermarket rims for my dodge, could I put the factory ones on here with some new centercaps?

Nope, at least not that I know of anyway. Ford was the only one that decided to be a PITA, and I think it was in 99 they did that, not 01, but I could be wrong. I like some of those factory Super Duty rims but it sucks they won't fit an OBS truck. I've always wondered what a set of factory GM aluminum wheels and the 3rd gen Dodge wheels would look like on an OBS Ford though. BTW, the truck looks great. Have you done anything else to it yet?

You'll be happy with the Hypermax intake. I don't have one yet, but from what I hear. I've been trying to figure out how to make it or something similar because I think $100 for the thing is a bit steep. You should get some new pics up. Would love to see it some more.
