That front steering and suspension really does look like it belongs !!!! Nice work and GREAT thread !!!

 

I think CV front ends are worth more than the entire car at this point. Nice work, Tom!

 

Makes me want to go and see if the 3 door 56 cab I know of is still there. 2 good friends of mine who have passed on have owned it.
Came on a 1ton chassis.

 

Got any pics of the three door? Would love to see how they did it.

 

well gang, I bought my self a few Christmas gifts from the money I made selling off a few things.

I sold a parts truck and the exhaust from the crown vic donor.

and bought these for the project.

what do you think!

 

VERY NICE!

 

Man, those things look nice. What are the sizes? Make?

 

I don't like them at all, JMHO

 

Were you really being humble or just opinionated,lol

 

Was being Honest John. They just seem un practical and to new school to me I guess

 

I know what you mean but they can look good if the theme of the vehicle matches. I prefer the 15" and beefy-er tires on the mid fiftys

 

20x8.5 & 20x10

255/35ZR20 front
285/30ZR20 rear

Honestly I am not sure who manuafactures them but I bought them from a company called wheel Manufactures.

 

Honestly I would usually agree that a 15 or 16 inch wheel is better. But for this project I am doing a mix of modern driver train and interior (seats, console, a/c etc) so I thought a modern set of wheels would be the icing on the cake.

Time will tell... but for now this is the wheels I will be using.

 

Not knockiing you down Tom, I like your truck and wheels and sure it will look fine. I've got a picture of one the looks dam good that is very similar to yours. You probably already seen it. I'll see if I can post it.
