How do you do a Cararo front clip?
Does anybody know where there is a thread that explains grafting the Camaro front to a 54 F 100? I know most people like something different but this is what I have decided to do. I don't want to just start cutting and welding without some reading on the subject but there art too many of them running around for this to be a bad choice. Any info would be appreciated. Paul.

How do you do a Cararo front clip?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Dec-02 AT 02:44 PM (EST)]Here's a rather recent thread on the subject:

The guy I bought my parts truck from had a '53-'55 frame sitting out in the weeds with a Chevy Nova front end. You can see a couple pictures of it in the thread. Do a forum search on "Camaro front" and you'll turn up even more discussions on the topic.
If you aren't opposed to whacking off the front end as truckfarmer said, you could also put in a LTD subframe. I have some pictures of a '56 with that modification: https://www.ford-trucks.com/dcforum/DCForumID90/2829.html
Good luck!
