John Niolon has a good article in the FTE tech articles section and his website. Video available from Mid-Fifty F100 in AZ, No Limit in CA, Hot Rod's F100 in OH. Many other vendors have it. Sorry I don't have the phone numbers handy. A web search should bring up the contact info. All templates I know of are for 1953-56. I don't think they are necessary. I think John likes them though. Video is very useful. General procedure the same for a 60 I'm sure.

60Ford,
I have the video and have watched it about three times since I have little else to do during the winter here in the Northeast. It's a good tool and well worth the money spent. Even though the video is on a Volare installation into a 53-56 Ford, the general principle is the same for other years and models. I'm using it to put a Volare under a 48 F-3. They tell you in the video that templates are not accurate because the Volare suspensions varied from year to year and even from model to model. I'm still waiting for warmer weather to begin my project.

I hit the send button once, I can't control what happens after that. You should probably get in the habit of reading our posts twice to maximize retension anyway.

George, ditto for me. I think the system burped or something because I got a message when I posted that about the server being too busy or something like that. Oh well, at least we got our points across as Earl said.

You.... **** retentive??? It's not like you cover your bare F250 frame with sheet plastic so it doesn't get dusty, and perform weekly safety checks. Or anything like that.

You can also find a five page pictorial and article on a volare install on a mid 50's Ford truck in the June 1997 issue of Classic Trucks. It starts on page 24. They make it look almost as easy as installing an aftermarket MII crossmember kit.

Well guys I got done with the Volare ifs install. Came out very nice. The template I purchased helped me with no guess work.
If anyone needs copys contact me at poolpro. Quik. Com. In addition we boxed the frame & installed fish plate for insurance. I will be taking pictures & maybe put them in this forum.
At this point I am building motor mounts for the chrysler 383 with a 727 trans. Next Its the Imperial rear end with disc breaks.
I will keep the forum informed on the progress.
