Hi.

A lot of folks go with components from: www.theretrofitsource.com

They have a UBoobToob channel with many helpful vidyas: https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...fitsource&sm=1

Install Guides: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/diy...on-guides.html

They also manage a forum with a stunning amount of DIY information, theory, etc: www.hidplanet.com

Basically, you need a pair of donor heads to work with ( preferably not the ones currently on yer truck - this allows you to incur no downtime ). Pick either a kit, or discrete components, and have at it.

The sky - and yer imagination - is the limit ...

Some example DIY builds fer different gen trucks: http://www.f150online.com/forums/ill...t-members.html

And lastly - keepin' it in da house, here's some more good readin':

good luck
