How many trucks does it take???
How many trucks does it take to make the one you want or have?
So far for me...
1979 F-150 4x2 SB - donated body for about 2-years, now just parts
1978 F-150 4x4 SB - donated chasis
1983 F-150 4x2 LB - donated motor and rear axle
1975 F-100 4x2 SB - donated body and misc. parts
1988 E-150 van - donated EFI setup
soon to be...
1988 Bronco - donated manual transmission and EFI parts
In the end...
1975 F-100 4x4 351W EFI 5-speed <---My dream truck, well pretty close...

Suprisingly my 79 Bronco has basically all the stock parts.
Only things differnet are the chrome vents for the windows(not sure which truck), chrome grille surround from 79 custom 2wd, and blocks from a 77 highboy.
Everything else is either stock, or aftermarket.

I think Johnny Cash had a song about a Cadillac he got from the factory like that. Only it was free. So far, mine has stayed fairly stock and I haven't been able to afford to fix/modify anything major. But I guess that's the advantage of being a college student.

No idea with mine, as I don't know where the motor came from. it is a 78 but I don't know if it came from a truck or car. I do know the air cleaner came from a Lincoln Continental 
The steering column also came from a donor truck, but everything was done to it before I bought it. So I couldn't say what year or model they were.

I won't list all the vehicles but my 86 had parts from 12 different vehicles, the oldest being an engine from a 75 T-Bird and the newest donor truck was a 97 F150 for the mirrors. And it had 9 different colors not counting the rust.
