Excursion What If's

Post your "Impossible Projects" here.



I really like the looks of the new F150 (Atlas). It's the best looking front end that I've seen on a truck and it just screams "FORD".

If I had unlimited time and resources, that would be my next project.... Update the looks of the Excursion with the front clip of the Atlas. (Of course, the obstacles are too numerous to mention. Sigh.....)

So, this is more my goal than a what if, I LOVE the look of these armored Ex's by Wamar...











While I will never have the half door version, or the armor, I love the overall stance and presence of these custom Ex's, and this look is the best embodiment of how I want mine to look some day.

Sweet look!

I wonder what happened to all of their technology when Mark Industries (conversion vans near Ocala Florida) closed up?

My dream ex project is possible, I just haven't come across the right deal on a donor yet.

Seems like a natural to me, put the legendary IH 444 motor in the original king of SUVs.

Take a 1969 IH travelall body and mate it to the IH 7.3 motor with excursion chassis and interior.

I think if someone could come up with a kit that matches the lines of the Excursion but have the front of the new F-150 would be awesome. Maybe USCG PA could do a photoshop?

They look like someone took the modified 2015 F250 conversions (with Excursion back ends) and uparmored them.

That fronted is from 08-10. Most likely just used the back half of an ex to the truck.

I've always wanted to swap out the barn doors for a tailgate. However the amount of metal work to the tailgate so it'd work with the hatch, not to mention the ridiculous amount of detail work like getting the latch system correct with seals to keep the interior sealed, as well as everything from rattling while also looking good (interior trimming the tailgate as well) is just too much.

They are from this vendor - RunCool Hood Louvers - Hood Vents For Your Vehicle - Cool Your Engine

I have been thinking about doing something similar, maybe one day...

What I really want is that awesome all metal louver grill!!!

This would be awesome. Might even be inclined to do a 6.0l
