Both vacuum hoses are connected though I've never had a dual vacuum can distributor if anyone wants to clue me in. The oil pressure line is temporary as is this drivetrain combo. The wife is not approving of the crown Vic IFS. Truck will eventually receive a Windsor based build, 5 speed and EFI.

This t-18 trans is just terrible

Show her pics of some rigs on here with DJM beams,brackets, and shakles. Not as low as the CV swap. There are plenty. A couple recently and I know Randle has them on his rig.

that's funny u mention Jeff. My '77 aka Bruce has beams in front and an axle flip out back. She says it's too low. Bruce does have smallish 215/70r15s on front which honestly are a bit small. I plan some 17" wheels and bigger front tires in the future, guess we'll see if she changes her opinion

^^ Tell her it's easier to climb in and out of a truck at Bruce's ride height.
I just noticed you're in Billings. In 1989 I worked with a gentleman named Brian Porter at Lou Grubb Ford here. Good guy. He and his wife decided to move back home to Billings. If you know Brian please tell him I said HI.
