well, in order to mount fenders, core support, and ANYHTING on the front end, you need the inner fenders back on, assuming you dont still have those, a junk yard will sell you an entire cab to swap with the innner fenders attached, but they might only sell you a full cab, not a shell of a cab, looking around 1k or so, and then another 500 or so for a replacement bed
so your looking at a 1500 bill, not including anything else needed, like lights, corner lights, so IMO you can get different project with fully body for that price, and use this thing as a spare engine/tranny/suspension

i might be mistaken, but the inner fenders are welded to the cab, and alot of junkyards will not seperate them (more money for them)

Oh man, if you don't know whats missing you have waaaaaaay more ahead of you then you know. Save your money and buy a truck that is physicall all there but doesn't run or something.
Nothing personal but this isn't a project for someone with no experience or money. your time is best spend researching what you don't know so that you have a better idea of whats going on when you get into this

hey!! you're the dude from the myspace group! lol, welcome to the site. like everyone else said, you have a hell of a time ahead of you, but in the end, you'll appreciate the truck to the fullest.
anyway, what's the story behind the truck & how the hell did it get in the shape its in?
ALSO, while you've got a chunk of the front end missing... do a v8 5.0 swap =) it'd be easier now while the truck's in pieces. haha! although... budget might be an issue.
anyway, get all the fenders you need & panels and all that and take your time putting it together --> get it right the first time.
oh, with this big of a project, it might be good to draw up a GOOD picture (i wouldnt recommend a 2 minute drawing, spend some time) of what you want (i mean like an actual drawing of the truck) lifted/lowered and whatever else. that way when you're working you have a reference point if you ever get lost in whatever it is that you're doing at the time.

well, as far as the engine goes, the MAF is missing from the intake... This truck is running in limp mode, it is NOT running good no matter what you think. You need to get a MAF for that year range truck and find the wiring plug to it in that mess somewhere on the front passengerside of the engine and plug it in and run the MAF between the air filter and throttle body. that will be a start. your friend has ripped out the A/C which is why its not there anymore. he cut out the a/c unit from teh heater box, if you want grab a heater box from the junkyard from a truck without A/C and you can bolt it right in and you wont have that ugly plexiglass mess anymore... but defintily take care of the engine, from the pics I've seen it is definitly missing a MAF sensor. I cant really see what else it could be missing.
