Nice job. I'm in the throws of finish up my '60 f100 ... soon to be a daily like yours. Mines on a stock frame with a Industrial Chassis Dakota truck front kit. We'll see how it all works out pretty soon.
Here's what I would have done, were I young and dumb again. Put the cab centred on the front wheels (no cheat) and then re-locate the rear wells to centre over the rear wheels. If you stick to square cuts, what's cut out works as the patch. Roadkill did one of these and the cop rims and wheelbase issue makes it not as amazing as it could be.
I love the truck overall, but I hate when guys scab in the CV components, as opposed to re-wiring/integrating without sacrificing the original look of the interior.
I like these Crown Vic chassis swaps... but they almost always look a little awkward, the track is too wide. You gotta use the goofy-offset Vic wheels, just don't quite look right.
I’m not a fan of lowering old Fords as a rule (my ‘67 will ALWAYS have leaf springs and a Twin I Beam front end), however I actually like it on the ‘60 body. It works.
@@Rustomod That truck is perfect! I just saw your Sweet Patina video on it, how is that holding up? My ‘67’s paint is original and tired, she’s got way more patina than I’d like, but that stuff looks like it could be just the ticket, at least until I can park her long enough for her long overdue refresh. I rebuilt her once in 1992, but after at least 200k miles (maybe 300k, I’ve lost track,) it’s time to go through her again. She’s done some hard work over the years.
I have a 59 custom cab but it's a shortbed,would I still be able to match with the wheelbase? I've heard that u need a longed box to then cut down to match with the crown vic wheelbase is this true?
Current paint job looks great!

Classic 60’s
Truck is so sick!
Great interview! Very informative.
I just bought a 1960 F100 last week. I can't wait to tinker with it. Its needs very little TLC I bought it for $4500
Thanks Cade and rustomod! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
👊🏻
AMT just released a model kit of this truck. When I saw your thumbnail, I thought it was the kit.
Trying to do this to my 66 right now.

How many Vic Swaps did you have at last years show? I’m 4+ hours away… I have a ‘67 swap.
We had one or two
Wheres the Fuse Box on the 1960 F100 ? I need to know so I can replace fuses... Im racking my brain.

Fridges look good in all forms
@@Rustomod That’s a fair point. I’ve always wanted a 4WD one.
@@corneliuscrewe677 Yeah check out our 4x4 1959 were building on the channel!

Yeah you would have to extend the frame or cut the bed short
@@Rustomod thank u very much
Man such a cool project too bad you didnt show anything of what he was talking about.I would of liked seeing some detail.
Youll see this truck much more on the channel don't worry
You got any questions lmk!
Why would you lower a truck? It renders it useless
It’s to compete in limbo competitions
Most trucks never go off road. And a Crown Vic can jump a curb with ease. As we all know...(Cops is filmed in front of a live studio audience).
