Oh.. yea not too interested in cutting up the frame. I was hoping it was more along the lines of welding on brackets for the a-arms and be done with it. Need to get to the JY and have a look under a vic.

You have to cut the frame off the CV so you can keep the mounting bolt sleeves, but if you take out the truck front suspension it should mount up.
Look at pauli3wood's "F100 Viking" build in the 73-79' forum for motivation. He took ALOT of pics and is a great fabricator, should shed some light on it.
Here is the link to that build: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ing-build.html
Might be different for the bullnose trucks, but you never know.
thank you.

His is by far the cleanest swap I've seen on here. His skills and attention to detail are phenomenal; the fact that he's doing it in his garage just goes to show it can be done. Also look at Hackster's build in the Bump forum. He's putting a 5.0 Coyote motor in his truck along with a CV swap
