I drive a 2001 F-350 and I have been given a SYNC equipped stereo system from a 2012 F-250. Is it possible to install the new system in my truck? If so what resources should I refer to so I can install it correctly.

I expect that it would be a nasty install to try and figure out. I have no first hand knowledge to back that up but I have to think that the unit is relying on data from the canbus to operate properly which your '01 won't be able to provide. If I'm wrong and it's a "connect the wires" and go situation, great, but if that's not the case, I wouldn't put a ton of effort into it because at the end of the day, you still end up with a mediocre OEM radio. You could do much better with an aftermarket unit.
