I read an article about a guy who boltefd one onto a 53 Fargo recently and so was curious if that might be an option for my F1. Cheers

The late model CV, especially the police interceptor is way too wide for an F1. If you look at one you'll see it is even too wide for itself, they had to use special reverse offset wheels to get the tires under the fenders.
Since you are in Canada have you thought about the Jag IFS? It is practically a bolt in under the F1.

Thanks Ax! I have considered the Jag, but they're very hard to find in my neck of the woods or in relatively close proximity. I'll keep looking tho. Cheers
