Hello from new guy
Hello everybody. You might know me from other sites like fill in the blank? I pick up a 1954 F100 P/U about 10 years ago. I still have not did anything with yet. I bought a 1970 Lincoln Mark 3. I want to transfer the drivetrain from the Mark 3 to my p/u. If anybody has any info on this swap would be greatly helpful.

Jay welcome to FTE the best place you could be for info on FORD.
Check out the forum list further below for your 1954 F-100.
I swapped a 1968 F-100 frame under a 1956 F-100. To much of a headache. Very Very time consuming and alot of modification that have to be made.
Welcom again to FTE

jay54f100 Welcome, nice to see a an older truck person. These years are among my favorites. I have a 56 Mercury M100 that has a front clip from an 80 Mercury car, that was not that easy to do and a lot of hours. I had a friend do it for me as he had the experince necessary. Another option is to use the frame/suspension as is and put the mounts in as required. You will be giving up the better handling/braking/steering but it is alot easier and quicker for the begining rodder with limited experince such as myself. If the front end is in good shape/rebuilt it can be a decent driver with power steering and power brakes added later. Have fun and enjoy one of the nicest trucks ever designed!
