Thanks man. I didn't really know how lucky I got on this truck tell I started taking it apart.

 

Well the frame is off to the sandblaster today. Time to order the crown vic front end. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

done.... A little bet before they said so now I'm scrambling to get something on it so it's no just sitting around tell my frame product gets here mid next week.

 

 

That's a lot of painting for a rattle can, but it looks great.

 

Whahoo Progress, got to love it!

To bad you have to work in such shabby conditions.
Yes i am envious!

The front suspension looks a little weak on the passenger side.

Good luck in your quest!

 

Nice truck you are very fortunate to find both and in such pristine condition. I just picked up a 1957 M250 long box. It's rough but I'll make her shines and new. I say go with a 460, I have one in my 64 and love it. Any way I am subscribing to your thread and will be checking in to see your progress and learn some pointers from you.

Thanks everyone.

I just made a large order this week. TCI Engineering now has almost half my budge. lol

I order the IFS, rear leaf springs, cross member and motor mounts. They tossed in a few other goodies and I'm hoping to have this rolling chassis done before spring.

I didn't do the 5x5.5 rotor upgrade so I'm on the hunt for a set of 5x4.5/5x114.3 wheels.

 

Two cans... I could of used 3 it was getting thin there at the end. lol

 

Good choice, by the time you do a crown Vic swap and rebuild it and make it perfect you'll be into it for $2000 that's Canadian. Wheel choice is way better for the 5x114.3 or 5x4.5, I bought mine from American muscle with rubber for $1700 I believe and I love them.

Until I get closer to the end of the build I might just put some cheap steels on it.

 

The cab and body got moved down to the old hay barn tell the chassis is done.

 

Build time!

 

So yesterday I pulled the old front straight axle off and started thinking through what my next step will be.











Step one weld in the box plates.

 

Would you be interested in selling the wheels? Reply to bigmikeysr@comcast.net, thanks.
