@liftedJ33P Good deal! If I can help in any way let me know.

Glad to hear that Good luck.

Sorry to hear that. If you are still in high school hang in there and find you a good automotive college to go to after you graduate. I have the same problem in my class with to many students. I need to show this to my students next time they tell me how boring my class is. God Bless!!!!!

It is nice to see someone doing a similar project. I have a 03 f150 4x4 frame with a 4.6 Cobra mated to an automatic. The last 2 months I been removing all the wires I am not using. The body is a '59 F100. I notched the frame to fit Full length headers we custom made for it!! I am not ready to post anything on youtube just yet. Good Job!!

Thank you can't wait to see that truck  sounds like it will be a nice one. After I do this one I would like to do one for fun instead of for work like this one.

fixin to watch the rest of these vid so matbe my question will be answered but anyway the engine will be sitting very low i mean you'll be able to see eng. and trans from the outside of the truck. very good project for kids to learn from . oh yeah and have fun with the fuel lines and tank!

nice to see someone else from alabama nice project as well never thought of doin this kind of swap in an f-100 but it does make sense reminds me of when i was in tech school workin on autos like this my main specialty is auto body repair but currently not doing that if that was my truck id make it all nice and do it in a crimson red paint job still nice truck but a 460 motor would be better at least to me

[dad23boys]

Thanks This is a low budget project. I had most of the parts that you see already except the 04 front end. I got that in Rossville GA. Also I am trying to give the students some experience on modern computers you see on todays cars and I felt the 4.6 gave me the best power to mpg balance. However I have heard of people using this front end swap with a big block like a 460. I wish I had a body guy to help me after I get it running. At least get the rust out of it . Are you in Bama now?

[blazerlover25]

yep down near mobile alabama not sure which part your in but that truck would be easy to do body work be a good learning experience with the students to learn body work and how to do it right btw i noticed your floor repair did you put any seam sealer on them?reason i ask this is cause if they aint sealed good it will rust out again but thats one straight truck so body work would be easy at least to me keep up the good work take care

[dad23boys]

I am probably about 275 to 300 miles from you. I live in the mountains of the north east part of the state in Dekalb county. I primed it and put a sealer in the crack then some under coat on it maybe I sealed it up(didn't show that part). Our body instructor dose not like to work something as old as my truck so I am on my own as far as the body work gose.

[dad23boys]

Our family car right now is an 01 C/V. I am sure it would be a very doable job. Most people who do this to there truck want to lower there truck but I just wanted the power rack and disk brakes. Plus it made it easier to put all of the other C/V stuff in it. so I spaced it to stay close to the stock height.

Awesome I really like this idea for a half ton truck, I love crown vics as much as I love my 68 F-250, It should handle really good with the rack and pinion steering from the vic, I have been thinking of converting my vic to the new style rack and pinion.
