Watched the build series for this truck over the past two evenings and I'll have to say I'm very impressed! Especially cool how you used all the Crown Vic stuff and integrated those parts into the '65. I've watched a few of these swaps and I think this one is my favorite because it seemed simpler than the others and much more budget conscious. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

Thank you! it sure is a fun truck to drive

Just watched this entire series and it was amazing. You have a great way of narrating and explaining and working with your son will be a great memory for him.
Good work brother, keep it up

A little late to the series. Just finished the series. You did a great job explaining every thing you did. Really enjoyed how you used the crown vic parts and put them together with the '65 f100 parts. You are very talented individual.

[@RowdyOnTheRocks]

That’s awesome bro! Keep the videos coming!!

[@tdchotrods9889]

Thanks! Will do!

[@richcaseaxon]

Just happened to stumble onto your channel. Cool build, very well done.

[@tdchotrods9889]

thank you

[@alexplowski552]

Sweet ride man, Look forward to seeing how you finish the truck off.
Hopefully that Trans holds up, Mine gave up on having overdrive so I tossed the auto and threw a T45 5 speed in it.

[@shanelord5012]

I would rather watch and listen to 5 hours of engine than music over it want the full in truck experience

[@tdchotrods9889]

i can make that happen in a future video

[@jorge462]

Been waiting for this video!

[@tdchotrods9889]

Thanks. It was a fun one to make.

[@AHotrodShop]

Awesome!

[@tdchotrods9889]

Thanks!

[@LifeisGood762]

Loved this build. You make it look so easy and I know it's not. Do you think this could be done to a 1971 Lincoln Mark III using a 2004 or newer Lincoln town car? The wheelbase is within half an inch if I remember right.

[@tdchotrods9889]

Absolutely could be done

[@josephtizol9695]

What a great job! I just subscribed. I love the bumper tuck detail that came out really nice. I’ve got a 69 F100 I’ve been working on and my daily an 08 F150 gave out on me so I bought an 06 CVPI with 130k just to get me to the end of the year when I retire. My plans had been to pull the 360 for a 300 I bought a 300 short block but now with this vic thing I’m all over the place do I do the full swap like you or just use the front axle and go 8.8 in the rear so I can still use my 300. Anyway I’m enjoying your channel and you seem super talented 👍🏻

[@tdchotrods9889]

thank you. whatever you decide to do I'm sure it will be awesome.

[@huntergilmore2626]

Awesome series! Just curious if you license it as the crown vic or as the f100?

[@tdchotrods9889]

f100

[@Mike-jf4kf]

how much wait was you towing, how well did it pull being a crown vic

[@ronaldrey8474]

Can u tow in overdrive ?
My Impala mentioned no overdrive with heavy load or tow ?

[@oldmanfromoc7684]

yes just may have to downshift on steep hills! I drove big trucks for 40 years!
