Most of the other Crown Vic conversations I've seen are boxed, using the stock tubes looks like it will sit about an inch lower and I especially like your rear attachment plate that didn't have to be cut into the frame, making this a cleaner, easier and less expensive way to go ❤
I hope the owner will have the frame sandblasted or otherwise cleaned, and painted. Would be a shame to leave the new shiny stuff on a rusty frame. The suspension used to be a all-drum brake system, right? Im wondering how should one setup the braking bias on a truck with new frontend disc brakes. If i could ask, how did you measure where the frontend goes? simply end of the frame to the center of the axle?
This must be a 53+ f100 frame they are 34" wide. The 48 to 52 F1 frames are only 32" wide. I wish it bolted into my F1 but it is a lot more work. (Not impossible) I would love to see a video of it done in a F1.
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Joseph Lewis i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Can you explain what the difference is when installing the 4 link outside the frame rails and installing them inside the frame rails? I’ve seen different kits for my 49 f1. Trying to figure out where to install the 4 links
Any chance of a paper that uses old original holes and shows new holes needed for front end drilling? I would pay for such information. Thanks looks great.
Can you let me know how you decided where to locate the rear mounting plates for the front control arms to make sure your camber adjustment was within spec range I'm doing the same install in a 56 with a mustang it's in the rear thanks for your video
I have a 56 F100 that I am trying to wrap my brain around how to upgrade suspension and steering. I have looked at many options. I have read the crown vic front end drops the vehicle by four inches which I am not interested in. Do you see a way of installing a crown vic front end that would not drop the front end that much. Also, how did you compensate for this in mounting the rear suspension
I have a 52 f1 which is the narrow frame, what year crown vic front end did you use and what year truck frame are you installing it in.. hearing you have to narrow the crown vic cross member to fit the 52 frame.
Ive seen a lot of Crown Vic conversions seems a good upgrade but nothing as far as engine mounts for installing any engine.I have a 60 F100 with a tired motor and am debating the conversion becuase of what is involved with installing modern engine.Unless its a bolt in thing.
Hey bud I know it's 2 years later I have a big question I'm reaching out to every ford guy I'm a gm guy and the 50s bel air are much easier I'm building a 1956 Fairlane whats the best way to get a wider tire on the rears I hear 8.8 rear from ford ranger any other information u could provide
I watched the video I like how you install the crown Vic front end. My question is can you use the donors power steering from a mustang to fit the crown Vic it's a 94 GT
I used '98 Explorer power steering pump on mine and adapted to the Vic rack and pinion. You should be able to do the same. You'll just need the purple fittings you can find online and have some hydraulic hoses made.
Hi mr Peterson just a quick question if you don’t mind me asking. The crown Vic guide pin, how much forward did you do? Is it 1” from center hole? Please advise thanks.
Hi there. I will be doing this to my ford truck. You've done a real nice job. Smart and Very Clean and it looks strong. What is your frame width at crown vic location... outside to outside. What is year of crown vic front end?
Sterling Witherspoon it depends on if you want to do it. I did it to my buddy’s 63 with basic tools and a welder. It’s not that hard just patients and measuring. A lot of videos on yt do your homework first and plan. Good luck buddy!
I have a 55 frame that im about to do with this same set up. I see that u didnt really do any modifictions other then welding the tubes for the long bolts, what yr is that frame because the arch on my frame is a little higher and the frame doesnt sit flush on the CV like yours does.
I can’t believe all this fabrication was done on a rusty frame … makes no sense why anyone would not blast it and painted to before fabrication to make a nice job.
