I am doing a 47 for my dentist. Someone put a early Chevy 283/powerdrive years ago. Planing to swap in Explorer 113inch. Thanks for all you are doing ! It is VERY helpful. R.
Hi Stalo Fab, your RU-vid videos & explanations are great keep up the good work, i will be looking at a chassis swap on my 1947 Jailbar shorty using a 4WD 2005 RH drive V8 4.6 Ford Explorer which should fit as i have measured the chassis rails & the cab will sit over with ease, only difference is the explorers has a Independent rear end, if you lived closer i would fly you over here to New Zealand to do my conversion, ill keep reviewing your builds to help me with my refit. I also have a 1948 Ford Bonus which will be my next project if this one comes out ok. Cheers for all the information. Eric
Wish I had the skills for this kind of swap. Sitting in my yard is a strong running 2005 Explorer with body damage and a filthy interior. And I'm really starting to like these older Ford trucks....
I’m working on a f1 it’s a 1947 the guy I got it from put a Chevy Camaro frame i took out the Chevy motor he had and got a ford 302 motor it’s a 1975 motor I’m trying to figure out the best way to do the motor mounts for the ford motor do you have any idea
Hello I have a 53f1 and I have Ford Explorer 2008 Do you think i can using the chassis? where can I measure from rim to rim or how can I do the measurements?
It looks like you may have the answer/s for what I think is a simple question. Certainly it has been asked and answered before but I'll be darned if I can find it simply stated. Frame commonality between 85 Ford Pick up, and 85 Ford vans. I have an 85 F-250 4X4. I'm considering swapping the bed and cab for a van body of that same year run. How compatible are they?
Great work looks awesome I have 47 looking to do the same swap What did you do for the body mounts cab and front clip ? Also no wheelbase modifications needed? Thanks
Great info! I have a 1947 Ford school bus that I’d love to update with a new chassis. Any idea what I should look for? It sits on a 158 in three-quarter heavy duty Ford chassis. I’d like to keep it Ford.
@@1984SWM Thanks! After a lot of research I found the Ford F-53 motor home chassis fits it perfect! I’m looking to get a 2021 stripped down chassis so I can make a brand new 73-year-old bus! 😉
I'm in Yuma, AZ. How much do you charge for a frame swap? I'm planning on getting a 98 ford explorer xlt. I don't have the best as mine was a wide 5. And WW2 truck. I a welder and a mechanic as well but idk where to start. I'm not a fabricator lol
Cars and Karaoke A ranger frame is a small pick up truck compared to a midsize Ford explore the Ford explore also comes with Disc brakes front and back,V8 engine, huge sway bars front and back,8.8 Ford rear end Ext lol pretty much a good package already put together..No Ford Ranger comes with that stuff and again it’s a small pick up truck it would not be able to tow... My Frame Swaps I’m able to tow With no problem and Stop lol
