80 F150 Flareside on a car frame?
After thinking about how I"m going to get my Flareside project as low to the ground as possible, still have it ride nice and not spend a ton of money on flip kits and JDM dream beams.....
I was thinking about dropping the entire cab and bed on a car frame. According to my research, an F150 SWB truck is 126 inches. Does anyone know of a suitable donor car that has approximately the same wheelbase? I've seen articles here about putting a late model clip under the front end, but that seems like a lot of work. Plus, you still have to deal with the rear. I was thinking maybe something along the lines of a T-Bird or an LTD frame of the same era. Any thoughts? |
Truxx1956, has a shortbed unibody truck(61 or 62) on an LTD frame(but I don't know what year) but I will try to find out for you.

Perhaps a LTD of later model Crown Vic
The 80s on handled pretty well why not use a lowering kit or perhans airbags? |
I have nearly a complete extra body but no frame and I'm trying to do it cheap.
Air bags and custom suspension products are too much $$. |
I think the LTD, Crown Vic, Grand Marq, Town Car are all around 114" wheel base. 1979 and up. You could get a frame stretcher....

Could put it on a lincon frame.

Stosh get a SB F150 frame cheap and do this to it.
