Looks like a Chevy front bumper to me. I'm willing to bet money that the running gear and entire chassis is all Chevrolet. More than likely a body swap situation. Chevrolet was nortorius for the front end track width being wider than the rear for some stupid reason...

Dodge rear track is narrower than front also. I think it has something to wheel tracking in a turn.

My DD is an '04 Dodge 1500 4X4, my son drives a an '06 2WD Dodge 1500 and my F-N-L has a '05 Dodge 2500 4X4. Funny thing all of them, while turning, the rear tires will chirp. Just wondering, do you guys with other brand trucks, do the also chirp when going around corners. I've had many other brands of trucks and have never noticed this.

Could it be the Sure-grip in the rear axle? Never heard one in a Ford, and all the rattling, banging squeeking, and whatnot in a Chevrolet makes it hard to hear anything else.
