I have a 1963 ford f100 shortbed that's in need of a new sub frame due to a car crash. It currently houses a 1973 or 1974 ford small block 302 from an unknown model. The wrecked frame had some ford torino sub-frame (wanted for the ratrod stance). ill try to upload a photo sometime. I read about fat man fabrication but am unsure of what they send you in total. I need to cut the frame from the behind the front wheels up where the original welds are. Does anybody know of any good replacements for a sub frame swap?

 

Since you are already sort of committed to a subframe installation......I used a 78 Camaro subframe. On the very front edge I welded the stock 61 frame stubs onto the end of the Camaro subframe to mount the core support and front bumper to.
Has a great stance and PS and POwer disc brakes.

Thanks i heard of people using older crown vics or somesort. but i then heard of the fluctuation it had. Yeah my dad had bought the frame like it and then got the 302 built for it. is there any way of posting pictures to the post
