What to do to my truck?
I have a 1998 f150 2 door, long bed, and nothing special just a work truck. I'm planning on buying a crashed truck of the same year but a nicer model. I want to take a few things off the other truck including: The doors (for the electric locks, and windows), The Tailgate (the previous owner had pool supplies in it and rusted out the tailgate), The chrome bumpers. A sound system is in the near future. A new grille is also on the list. Maybe rims when I have money for it. What else can I do?

Any input will help thanks.

By the sounds of it you want parts off the front, rear and sides so where would this truck have crash damage?

You wont need complete doors, just the internal parts for the power windows and locks.

Really all I need is the internal parts I don't need to change out the whole doors! That would be great that means no painting for me! Is it a difficult switch?
