This thread has got to be the greatest tribute to this site that I have seen to date. Where else can you discuss the "moral dilema" of utilizing something OTHER than a Ford component on a Ford product? Rock on guys.

And if I may venture my personal opinion. The use of some components other than Ford factory issue may be a "sacrilidge" to some, but remember most of us are running someone else's aftermarket performance component somehwere on our rigs. Even if its just a lowly K&N ail filter. Now, the idea of the greater sacrilidge of utilizing a component from a less respected (at least in these forums) vehicle is mildly disturbing to me. A Ford 4x4 coming towards you is recognizable for many reasons: the Blue Oval, the F.O.R.D. across the hood, and for most the front diff hanging under the driver's side of the truck. Its a distinguishing mark, an icon if you will. The owner of this truck must simply deal with the genuine possibility that should someone snap a photo of it and manage to keep the body out of the frame, it could be mistaken for something other than what it proports to be.

 

Regardless of what components are on this truck, I've seen it in action and it is one Bad *** Bronco!

 

I think the dodges before 1994 had the pumpkin on the same side as chevy's, I can't remember, but i am pretty sure they did. Either way, it might be off a chevy, but it is not really a chevy part, it just took longer then others to see the light.
