Mine is mostly metric with some SAE, especially on the engine.

Nearly all of the nuts and bolts that I have worked with on my truck were all metric. My oil drain plug is a 5/8", but I replace it every so often with a new one from Napa. The OE drain plug may have been metric too, I have no way to know for sure.

a complete mix- some SAE, some metric (I've found a bunch of 10mm's), some splines, some torx.
