64 front end swap
Hey everybody. I am new to this forum and pretty new to working on this type of truck. I have a 1964 F100 Flare side and have seen a lot about the Crown Vic front end swap. I have a couple questions and I hope you all can help. 1. Do the 03-09 cv's have the same bolt pattern? In not does any year have same bolt pattern? I don't want to change out rear end if I don't have to and i dont want 2 different wheels. 2. Will 15 in wheels work with the cv set Up? I am planning on bagging the truck and want to do it right. Thanks for any help with this..im a newb but I'm excited to get started.

1) Do the 03-09 cv's have the same bolt pattern? If not, does any year have same bolt pattern?
Not the same bolt pattern as your truck.
I don't want to change out rear end if I don't have to and I don't want 2 different wheels.

Your F100 has 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle pattern.
The older (1979/90ish Crown Vic's & Grand Marquis) have 5 lug wheels on a 4.50" bolt circle.
Excepting 1940/48's, there's no car of any year that has the F100's 5.50" bolt circle pattern.

OP, have you looked into the Dakota IFS swap kits from Industrial Chassis? The upfront cost is a good deal more than the CV, but the track width and bolt pattern problems are taken care of.
