Stuff you can get for junkyard upgrades, depends what your into. Here's what I'd get if I had your truck
Cab lights
Toolbox
Ranch hand rear bumper
Grille guard
Halo headlights or led tail lights (if your lucky enough to find some)
Split front bench if you don't already have one
Leather wrapped steering wheel
Any spare parts that you think you need

Electric fans and Saginaw pump are up there on my list. I just dont know how much the fan is worth doing on my little 4.9 other than nose reduction.

I would look for crew cabs and steal the power window/power mirror bezels from the drivers door only,and rear door panels and post them for sale on the forums and craigslist. These parts are hard to find, and they are cheap in a junk yard and will PAY for anything else you bought that day for your truck.

Here's an upgrade to add to your list - https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...g-x-times.html
Seems the '90s have a better door handle than the newer models (near the end of the thread is where this is mentioned)

Always thought about doing OBA on my wrangler, but since it's basically a trailer queen anymore, it's not terribly high on my priority list...

You could always pull the inner stub shaft from an F250 with a D50. The inner universal joint is a size bigger which allows for more droop before binding occurs and makes the weak point the stub shafts and joints. Not much else will swap over other from the 3/4 tons other then the third member, but I wouldn't bother unless your wanting to change gear ratios.
