Nice truck. Great job. Thank you for sharing your video.

I had the same idea for the gas tank covering the gas filler. I didn’t know how it would look but I like what you’ve done here. Gives it that vintage look, very cool!

[@danikael2815]

That thing is awesome now you git me trying to build one

[@ckc3638]

It’s almost completely finished I will be posting another video on where it is at now

I have a 65 step side, my dream is to be able to make this swap some day. You have made a really nice truck, I’ve been looking at the saddle blanket covers as a temporary fix for my bench seat. Where did you get your saddle blanket cover?
I’ve enjoyed your videos on this swap and look forward to the unibody swap coming up.

[@ckc3638]

I believe I got the saddle seat cover on amazon or eBay. I would love to see your truck when you get it done, good luck on your build my friend

[@frehleyleadguitar]

Thanks for the info

The pre aluminum subframe cars have a slightly narrower rear axle. That's what I used on the 58 f100 I built for a customer.

Does that explain why he had issues with large tires and wheels ?

I’m putting my 66 on a 93 f250 duely 351 c6 tran

I'm new to this, so don't go too hard on me. Can you swap an older model crown vic chassis, or can it only be 2003 and later?

[@ckc3638]

I believe they can be swapped, but it’s a little different fit. Maybe more modifications. I know 2003 to 2011 all fit pretty good.

[@lequaecaldwell7282]

Thank you sir

[@frankammirati3385]

Is this a long ? I’ve seen other vid where guys are having to lengthen the frame , I didn’t see you had to do that .

[@ckc3638]

No this is a short bed, there is a way to cut down a long bed and make it work
