well i have a 67 f100 i had to repl my floor pans as well, few things always wear eye protection hate to see you loose a eye also, when i did mine i used a sawzall with a good blade easy to cut. pounded the pans into position and then used big sheet metal screws and used the electric grill also used silicon between the metals so no water and leak thru. now the screws i used had a hex bolt for a head and where self tapping. hope this can help you.
My sending unit for the gas tank has 2 wire plug. I installed a new unit, plugged the wire plug in. Gauge still doesn't work. Is It possible that I plugged it backwards or is there only one way to that plug could go on , I can't get back to it cuz it's on top of the gas tank. Or is there a certain amount of gas I need in the tank for gauge to start registering ?
This looks like a perfect scenario for some ol Fitzee "cut and butt". I hope you haven't given up on the dream buddy - even if you've given up on posting videos. Hang in there. It'll happen. You've got a great foundation to build on there. If you give up now, you'll spend the rest of your life regretting it. Don't ask me how I know. Get back to posting videos, even if it's just to let us know it's done or if you've moved on.
Hey Matt, nice work on the truck. I was wondering how you ended up mounting the fuel fill location? I am building a ‘69 F100 4x4 with my son and want to put the fuel filler behind the license plate and looking for ideas.
Your videos help thaks just a thought on the back bracket for the a arm why flat why not make the bracket so it slopes for the bushing rather cut and reweld
Just ran across your video. You need a microphone on your shirt cuz there were times when i couldn't hear what you said. Also those rear mount bushing on the front lower control arms are not for toe adjustment, the tie rods on the rack and pinion are for toe adjustment . If those bushings were in an angle on the crown vic that tells me that is a Caster adjustment aka steering axis inclination. So what rear end are you using. I have an 83 F100 and this looks like a good mod for better ride comfort, as mine ride like a dump truck. Thanks and keep up the good work. No bitching , just bringing up some points.
Just a correction, the bushing you modified was nit for toe adjustment. Toe is adjusted via the tie rods, what you modified would be for caster and/or camber adjustment
When I took my outer fender off of my inner fender, there was a layer of caulk or sealer in between the two, where the bolts go through. Is that always the case, is that something that I need to lay down in between the two layers when I bolt the outer fender back onto the inner fender? Thanks so much for your help
Hey great job not sure how much you have got done but was int erested in your old differential if you still have it? Maybe we can connect somehow? lawrencep.1960@gmail.com
I put irs out of a thunderbird in my rat rod. Do you know if the rear camber is adjustable? Can’t get at it to see without taking the body off. Would like to know before I dig into it. Thanks.
Call me crazy but I've got a 66 F100 long bed and I've been trying to figure out which year of Crown Vic or Grand Marquis or town car to use and I'm not happy with the layouts on any I would like rack and pinion steering and I wanted to lay out the rear without cutting the bed so I have done a lot of thinking and the fact I have the parts car decided to go with a 1986 300ZX full front and rear suspension I'm going to modify adjustable coilovers to fit twin beam spring pockets using the control arms spindles rack and pinion and cross members off the 300ZX in the front giving me a 57 inch track width front and rear allowing for very wide tires very minimal cutting to the body I'm only going to run 15 or 16 for now but I wanted a deep dish wheel and I may go to a 18s very soon if I find a set I can afford I'm using what I have on hand flame me if you want for import parts but really if it's not stock what does it matter where the parts came from if they fit work and do what I want with the money I have to spend I'm also using the 300ZX semi trailing arm rear suspension and it's going to be bagged all the way around so I can haul my bobber in the bed with a full bed floor
I actually think its a great idea. I even looked into the 300zx rear end but was unable to find one easily. You gotta work with what you got and can get! I do like ford with for and chevy with chevy but sometimes it doesnt work out that way with what your trying to do. I have a 1958 Ford 100E. its a really small car and I want to go independent on it but ford doesnt really make anything that small so I will have to go import for those components. You should follow me on Instagram and share your project. Would love to see it done!!!
I know what a step bit is, found out when making holes in the frame for a front reese hitch. they are awesome! ... I like the twin I beam on my Ranger, don't know why anyone would want to swap a car front end. . . . . I would be very interested in a video on changing the rear leaf suspension with drum brakes to a coilover with disc brakes.
The Ibeam suspension is actually a really nice setup as is so I can see why you like it but it can cause issues when you either lower or raise the vehicle. I plan on doing a 4 link setup on the next project so stay tuned!
Between the start up I was working for going under and this new Covid situation putting my job on hold I haven't touched it. Getting back to it now thanks to all the free time I now have! Vid coming soon!
I like the way you made the brackets . Really liking your install the best of all I have seen . And the height shouldn’t be dragging down too low the way I like .
Man, you gotta work on your audio levels. When you're speaking, I have to crank the volume wide open and still struggle to hear you. then the music comes on and my ears are blasted.
I have heard that. I have gotten a new mic which should help my audio vocally and I will be using Adobe Premier for my future vids. Should make a big difference. Sorry about your ears!!!
