Building a BUDGET F100 CROWN VIC SWAP in 10 Minutes 

Sounds like you're half way there!

Funny coincidence! Good luck with your project, I'm sure it will be cool! If you have questions just ask!

@@BestDamnShopAround what size tire did you end up running on the front to clearance for turning?

Thank you!

A lift is key. Lots of abandoned projects around from folks that dont have a lift.

Hopefully! If you do say hi!

Thank you!

the Crown Vic and the 77 Luv!!! Some "Coquette" stuff going on here!!! LOL

@@Chechenzko I have very weird taste in vehicles! Haha also in the collection is a 53 Buick, and a 6-speed square body C10, have videos on both of them too!

@@BestDamnShopAround yeah I know! I’ve seen them! And love that C10 and all the work done undercarriage & the C10s in general but I’m very fond of the Fridge and the Luv! Those are rare indeed but the work and love you’ve put in them makes them stunningly cool! Kudos dude!!

@@Chechenzko Thank you for watching and the kind words!

Thank you! I love your support!

@@BestDamnShopAround Anytime............ If that truck ever goes up for sale it would make a GREAT Throttle Power Shop Truck!

61 is a good year! Stay on marketplace, might find something! Also check out govdeals.com for police auctions!

@@BestDamnShopAround yeah around here bout only way to get one is either over pay or government auction.

@@GlassWerx that sucks. Hopefully you'll run across a deal!

@@BestDamnShopAround yeah iv been looking haven't really looked too much lately. Got couple other projects closer to being done I gotta finish first

@@GlassWerx I know that feeling! More projects than time!

Thank you!

Thank you for tagging along and subscribing! If you go back and watch the very first video I show the core support mounts and modifications around the 32 minute mark of the video. If you have any additional questions just let me know!

Cool thanks. I must of must of missed that. It was the first video of yours I watched. Edit: I went back & watched, I didn’t miss that part. I guess I thought you had to do further modifications to get the Crown Vic radiator stuff to fit. Watching other videos in the past it seems like that might’ve been a bigger hurdle. Probably not for your year of truck. I’ll be doing the swap with my 1969 Dodge Sweptline in a few months with a 97 Vic.

@@michael-michaelmotorcycle Nice, that will be a cool swap! This is the only generation I've done so I can't really speak for the other years. But also I've seen videos where people way overcomplicate things.

It's kind of hard to explain but I talk about it in a couple of the build videos! Basically I dissect the stock truck column, use a bearing that I found at the local hardware store, and weld a joint on that accepts the crown Vic steering shaft

Thank you! I agree, it's so ugly it's cool haha

Thank you! To get it running and driving including the cost of the crown Victoria, F100, parts, and steel it was right around $2,200. After the initial build I added around another $600 in interior as well as a new windshield. But I was able to sell some parts off of the crown Vic and the F100 to recoup roughly $500. So you can say roughly around $2,400 after some hustling not counting the couple hundred dollars I'm probably forgetting haha It also took me in the neighborhood of 350 man hours to build it, and your time is worth something.

@@BestDamnShopAround awesome! Thanks for the detailed answer, I really want to build something similar if not the same, money is tight but this is doable for sure! I have lots of time and I’ve been a mechanic my whole life. Heading to Marketplace to search crown Vic’s and truck body’s! Thanks for the inspiration

@@b00sted_SS you're welcome and good luck! If you end up doing the same swap hopefully my videos will help!

Thank you for your input! I will take that into account next time I build a truck for myself!

You seem like an unnecessarily angry person… How about suspension? Solid front axle on leaf springs is a death trap on modern road at modern speeds. How do it know? I have a ‘62 Unibody. It’s a death trap and unusable as anything other than a farm truck on gravel roads. He’s made a left for dead truck destined for the crusher 100% daily drivable that little kids love to see driving around. What have you done?

@@ChuckThree 💯

Yeah but then how would they get angry comments like yours to help build their channel? Thanks for contributing!
