As I am tearing into the truck, there is a lot of good bones still left. I am going a different route. If it was just a cab and truck bed I wouldn't mind chopping it up. Truck is just too sentimental to me and my family.
My friend told me about this a few years ago before he sold me his Mom Grand Marquis because he was considering buying a truck to use for her chassis. Her car was way to nice to chop up so I forced him to sell it to me.
I was thinking you took the crown Vic motor and swapped it to the truck not put the ford cab on the crown Vic! Awesome video big surprise. I like the fox body in the back ground. Love fox body mustangs
yes sir. I like how it turned out still got to finish it up, but it sure makes for a nice driver. and yes, the fox needs to get finished up and decide if I'm going to keep it.
I have a Vic and I'm so tempted to at least save it to do "someday"... As far as the bed, you can chop up a picture in Photoshop and see if you think it's worth it. I think for aesthetics, a couple of inches would look better, but that's a long way to go for a nudge. Great instrument panel match-up. Pretty truck.
wow ! people just dont understand the dedication, time, money etc etc that goes into doing a project this big . i all ways wanted to put a 69-72 chevy pickup body on a g body frame. congrats on a job very well done !!
Thatsa pretty cool swap. It would cost a fortune to give that truck a lowrider, comfortable and easy to drive. When I saw what you were doing well it just made sense and you make it look easier than sure it is,but you make it look simple. 👍
Haha awesome the bed dose seem to be a lil lower then the cab almost looks like when u crack a frame maybe u should add like some spacers or rubber bushings on the bed to make it sit a lil more flush with the cab but over all looks bad ass
What a awesome truck! I just really think u should have cut the back,short box truck looks sooo much better and add more value to the truck. Great job all together. I love u kept the truck dask and we're able to use the car gages, real slick.
I built one a few years ago and I've mostly used it for just cruising but lately I've been trying to haul stuff in the bed.... the suspension is just not there to be able to put any real weight. Did you do anything to the rear suspension? I've heard f150 shocks on the rear help?
Killer!!!! I wonder is this is possible with a OBS ford?.?.? Also if it’s possible to retain the Vic dash and how you would title it if it had the Vic vin in the windshield
that truck looks fabulous now I like how it turned out. I have a '53 truck and I was thinking about something like that with a 2009 Grand Marquis but in the end I sold it. Lol. But I find another 2007 what year is this crow vic you have there.
I was getting ready to ask if you cut a short or long bed. Now I know. Great job man. I have a line on a crown vic and i'm trying to find a 60s-70s F100@@tdchotrods9889
For must have been planning ahead when they developed the F-Series and the Crown Vic. Or, it was just an accident like the guy and the girl who ran into each other to make Reece's Peanut Butter Cups in the commercial.
And because it's a Vic, it's very reliable. This is really cool! 😎
Thank you
Gone are the days of just swapping the front K member. Nice job!
Thank you
I really like these conversions. I'm guessing it's a dream to drive.
yea its pretty darn awesome.
Well shoot. Guess im on the look for a Crown Vic. I have my grandfather's 68 ive been wondering what to do it. Well done!
did u do it?

@@jonathancastro7348 Nice
Nice swap, Well Done! Thanks for showing it all in just 7 minutes.
thank you
I love that you kept the truck dash.
thank you
Incredible build! Now I gotta learn how to weld so I can make one of these myself!
GREAT JOB. The first time I watched a build video twice! Thank you for sharing. Keep up your innovations 💡!
Thank you

thank you
Nice build, thanks for the video!!
thank you
Seeing little man enjoy car work is excellent!
absolutely
This was pretty sweet. Never would have thought to body swap onto a crown vic.
My friend told me about this a few years ago before he sold me his Mom Grand Marquis because he was considering buying a truck to use for her chassis. Her car was way to nice to chop up so I forced him to sell it to me.
you got me thinking about my c20.. good shit brother 🤘🏽
Damm this the best video on how to do the swap I’ve seen keep it up bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have my 66 and this project looks awesome great job
thank you
I am doing a 1949 Ford F1 swap and I watched this series a few times to see how you did stuff. This is what youtube should really be about.
Fantastic job - congrats!

@@andrepretorius235 thank you

I’m thinking cv donor car
How inspiring this is so cool...I need a daily like this
thank you
You make it look so easy.
Thank you
Awesome work dude i hope my 54 turns out this good

Well done That's so so cool
thank you
Wow. Cool build. I have a wrecked k5 and an 03 Tahoe I want to match up
Great swap, I snagged a 1 owner 64,000 vic, for my 64 short bed. Posting to my channel.
Heck yes that's awesome
My true dream vehicle
this has got to me the 4th or 5th swap i seen on you tube since they did it on motortrend tv on hotrod garage a couple years ago when they did it!!
Would you consider making another for purchase ?
Absolutely!
Looks awesome 👏🏻.
This video was awesome!! I'm going to attempt this with an International 1210. Anything you would suggest I pay particular attention to?
not really its a pretty nice chassis to make everything easy> just make sure not to cut any of the wiring with the cut off wheel like I did 😂Opps
What a awesome truck! I just really think u should have cut the back,short box truck looks sooo much better and add more value to the truck. Great job all together. I love u kept the truck dask and we're able to use the car gages, real slick.
Amazing great content
@@AirsoftSP thank you
It was of great help ... Awesome video
thank you
Like your videos man.. come back!
This may be easier than taking my 68 international and adding crown vic front end, changing engine and rear end. Thinking about it.
I'm watching one of the better builds I seen in 6 years
Thank you!
like from Brazil!!!! 👌👌👍👍👍👍
Love it
thank you
Keep us posted as you pile up the miles!
Will do
I cut the body off my 03 crown Vic but now I get no crank or start. It just ticks a bunch. Any recommendations?
Maybe grounds?
Nice!
thanks
It looks great! One of the best I’ve seen! How much to make one for me?
Thank you! This one will be for sale soon if your interested. OR i would be happy to build one for you. you can message me at TDC Hotrods on face book
@ i would definitely be interested depending on the price.
@@davidcoe5656 hit me up on face book we can talk about it
@ i can’t really do anything until I sell my 2011 fj cruiser. If I could id love to have yours for a daily driver or one like it.
@ that would be awesome

But I find another 2007
what year is this crow vic you have there.
2003
Do you have a more indepth video on this swap?
yes there are 5 other video's on my channel that are more Indepth on the build.
Was considering selling my 2001 Lincoln Cartier (town car)...now all I really need to do is find an old Ford cab n box...👍🤠
@@ricksspringfield45 that would be awesome
Do you have to leave the floor? Can you do firewall only?
@@ethangodwin5137 yep you absolutely could do firewall only
Do you have any rubbing at all with those wheels? What tire size are you running?
What’s the pick point your using for the chain hoist in a building like that?
Really awesome thanks and keep going it!
Is it possible to not have it so slammed looking, can you lift it a few inches with springs? Or will it not fit?
you could just not channel it as far as i did over the frame to get it taller
Great video... Would that be registered as a Crown Vic or F100?
F100
These crown Vic’s love Lucas oil stabilizer and liquid Molly engine treatment!!
@@Arkansas223 good to know
Mpg difference from before and after? Truck body probably weighs less then the crown vic did, but not as aerodynamic. Nice build.
Like your video sir
For how much would you build one. Only labor I will provide the car n the truck just estimate your work is awesome
i charge 10k for labor to build one.
This was awesome. Just great work dude. I have a 1965 f100 short stepside. Do you think I would have to cut the bed on it like you did?
No the vic wheel base is the same has a stock short bed😀
I was getting ready to ask if you cut a short or long bed. Now I know. Great job man. I have a line on a crown vic and i'm trying to find a 60s-70s F100@@tdchotrods9889
About how long did the swap take you?
2.5 weeks after work. But long nights
Thank you..
Loved the way it look year is the crown vic ??
03
What year was the crown Vic?
2003
What do you register the truck as?
1965 f250
What year crown Vic?
2003
Check your "grounding" connections.
There are multiple grounds on these cars. You may have overlooked a critical grounding point.
🖐🏽Nice nice Yes yes!
For must have been planning ahead when they developed the F-Series and the Crown Vic. Or, it was just an accident like the guy and the girl who ran into each other to make Reece's Peanut Butter Cups in the commercial.
lol right
Swap the gauge for the digital gauges from those years grand marquis
That would be sweet
Where is your NEW content?
Did you "lose the shop"?
To bad I don’t have a shop to do the job I have the perfect crown Vic for a build I just need to find the right truck for it.
You guys made it look so simple like if you had both cars you could just drive one under the other really no big fab to make it work
thanks
So legally... is this a 65 f100? or a Crown Vic?
Also curious how registration works
The id is on the body, so it’s an f series pickup, I would say. Looks like a pickup, smells like a pickup…. But I could be wrong. Awesome build though
Oh this is probably where bodevision got the idea from, instead of a vic he is using a towncar.
Please paint it. Patina has been done to death.
I would give this video 10 thumbs up if I could.
thank you
different
Strangest swap I’ve ever seen, but I absolutely love it! 😂
lol thanks
Just finished my chassis swap. What did you do for the gas filler neck
