I think your best bet is to contact sportruk! He did a front end swap like your thinking about along with a IRS!

Tell you all my plans and maybe this would help. I have a 2000 Lightning motor that I bought brand new on a crate blower to oil pan. I have done alot of work to this motor in dreams of it powering my 92. I also wanted ford car pattern wheels but the hubs are too big to redrill on the front. So I have been watching a couple of the bump side guys using the crown vic 03 and up front end on their trucks and thought this would be a good option. It takes care of a couple problems: one is that a mod motor would bolt right in, two is that I would have the ford car 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. I like the smaller center wheels, just feel they look better.
So yes back the radius arm mounts.
How do I get a hold of sportruck. Never mind, when I glanced over your post I thought all that was in your signature. His truck is cool but he is still running the twin beam just like I am in the front. That rear is really cool!!!!

I thought someone was talking about me, my ears were ringing.That's right, I'm still on beams. It's one of those future projects I've had in mind. I was watching the thread that carcrafter22 has on this site about putting it in his bumpside.
Over on the NLOC, someone is doing a Bronco. It has the same front half of the frame as our trucks. He had to do some cutting of the frame to make it fit. The frame is really thick where the steering box is mounted and needs to be notched and reboxed.

Thank you sportruk. Awesome truck you have built there. I really like the one pc windows. My truck is already chopped and windshield cut so I probably won't be going back. There is a company that can make the windows for $1500 a set so that won't be an option either. We welded up the sides of the front and back windows and they are flush mounted with no metal trim around them. I love the taper you did to the front of the truck also.
I would like to see his bronco done or with a motor in it to see how low it will sit, that is my only fear, I won't be low enough with a good ride.
Thanks again, Ward
