Thoughts or Ideas?
For starters excuse me for not knowing this but I am new to working on a Blue Oval (I usually work on Bow-ties and Rams) I recently acquired a 1994 F250XL reg cab 4x4 w/ a 351/C6. The good - she was a plow truck here in Southern Maryland (we don't get snow like upstate New York) at a local school and only has 31,609 miles on her and she came with a good working Meyer E60 Plow. The bad - she is a LOT more rusted than the advertiser explained (internet government auction). In my efforts to resurrect this truck I have determined that I need a parts truck, I have found a wrecked (took a pole to the center of its grille) 1996 F250 4x2 with a 460 and auto trans (unknown model). The donor is from NC and looks to be pretty rust free. I am planning on taking the donors bed, rear bumper, rear window (its a slider, mine isn't), front seats to replace to bench, some rear suspension parts if they are in better shape than mine, and anything else that I can scavenge.
Are there any fitment issues that I should be aware of? Is there any pieces of the front suspension that can be used on mine as long as they aren't mangled in any fashion? I am trying to repair or out-right replace anything that I feel is too rusty. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I didn't think that there would be a whole lot from the front end, but I have not dissected these trucks yet. Would the rear have the same suspension pieces?

Hopefully I will get lucky as the doner is a 250 with a 460. Thanks for your inputs.
