Well some of you guys knew this was coming but I figured I'd start here. I wanted one of these trucks forever I almost bought one before I bought my 1968 Cougar and honestly I have been searching for one ever since. I picked up the 04 Police Interceptor. The plan is to take the body off of the Crown Vic frame and put it under the F 100 body. Utilizing all the running gear and engine and electronics from the Crown Vic The suspension on the Crown Vic is similar to the Mustang ll in the front the police interceptor has bigger sway bars + 12 inch dual piston caliper front brakes the rear of the car is a four link style setup I will get plenty of pictures when I take the body off. Here are a few pictures of it as I picked it up.














Here are a few shots of the truck




And the car.

I took everything to a friend of mine's shop in Nashville (Boost Addicts) and destroyed his shop for the weekend. I really needed/ wanted a 2 post lift for this. The police car was first.

I made a little progress this weekend. I still need to cut more of the core support to get it all the way back.
