newb...kinda

Forgot I had an account on here lol. Well, my new project is a 67 F100 with a 460 a C6 and four wheel disc. I'm picking it up on Sunday and I've already got the bug. The first order of business is to get it running, flush fluids, tune up, rear main seal. But I've been reading and I've got some plans. I like the crown vic swap and I might partner it with the s/c coyote motor. I'm still deciding on the rear. Do they make a four link for this? Not a huge fan of the IRS with the limitations it appears to have, but I will need to change the bolt pattern. Wheel selection will be huge. I'm trying to find some examples of modified roof lines. I'm not looking for a full out chop, but I've seen other trucks that had just enough to look stock but the lines are improved. I'm also looking for a way to relocate the fuel tank to under the bed, really not a fan of the behind the seat. I'll get some pics up as soon as I get it and try and keep a pic/video journal as I go. Wish me luck

Sounds like a cool truck!! I love the idea of a Coyote engine. That is actually the true spirit of hot rodding, find the newest and powerful engines.
I personally think most old trucks NEED a chop if they are dropped a lot. Otherwise they look like a telephone booth.
