Also got that 64 grill I redid sold for 100 bucks and got a truck to look at this weekend that is supposed to have some rust free front fenders and guy is parting out. Are the 4x4 fenders the same as the 2wd before I go look. Thanks

 

4x4 fender have a wider wheel opening

 

On all of them he sent me pics and they look the same I know Ive seen a 3/4 ton one and the fenders had a wider opening for the wheels. Maybe someone changed them out. Think Ill still go look looks to have a good grill also.

 

Well got the motor out and the steer column and steering box, and front suspension is about ready to be rolled out from under it. I have some more pics Ill get on here soon. Havent went to look at that 4x4 for parts yet but did find a 61 f250 long box uni to its pretty rusty but grill is awesome and I want it lol got ahold of a few people and got his number so may call this weekend hope its for sale.

 

how's it turning out??

 

That truck looks pretty straight and solid for 50 years old,good luck with the project.
If you look in the bone yards maybe you can find a late 1999 to early 2000 Crown Vic cop car (has P71 in VIN) with 3.55 gears and trac lok,narrower axle width than 2003 and later Crown Vic and Grand Marquis.

 

Yeah not bad for 50 years old lol, Ive got the steer box out and sold and also the straight axle is out and a guy wants that and the 292 and the bellhousing. So ive made $350 so far off the parts I don't need lol. $50 more and I'll have my $400 back I gave for the truck. Gonna get the front frame all smoothed out and primed then prob get started on the floors and cab mounts. Might mount the crown vic suspenson after that so I can roll it around. That's about all Ive got done before the snow came. Shes stuck outside for awhile I have 3 mustangs taken up my garage space lol.

 

looking good cant wait to see how yours comes out

 

Well just got back on the 63 been busy all summer on other stuff, got the front suspension mounted still deciding if I should box the frame where the back bolts go threw for the CV plates I used pretty heavy square tube weld between rails. Got the filler neck hole welded shut and the drivers side floor weld in and made my own cab mounts. Long ways to go but haven't dumped to much cash into it yet. Used the app on phone to update what I've done but haven't figured out pics yet.

 

 

 

All of these were cell pics so some turned out better than others let me know what ya think.

 

Looks good. Keep them coming. I am wanting to do the same build that you are doing. Unibody with CV front end. I havnt found a truck yet, but an in the process of trying to find one. I plan to put a EFI 5.0 in mine with AOD. Just a nice mild little crusier for me and the wife

 

I am planning on the same swap. Would like to see pics of the motor mounts
