Do you have a complete doner truck or just the engine?

That's good because you'll need quite a list I believe. You'll need the fuel tanks and the radiator. Since you have a different cab you can't use the doner fuel lines, but I'm not 100 percent sure you'd need them or not. You'll need the transmission too, or at least will have to modify yours. If there's anything else I'm forgetting, someone will add it.

Oh I guess I should have asked what year your truck is and what year/engine the doner truck is. For some reason I was thinking about a 7.3 idi, probably because that's what I have... If it's newer it would probably be similar, but I can't speak with too much confidence, as I don't know much about them.
