Ive read on crownvic.net that cutting 3/4 of a loop off the top of the coil springs will get you 2" lower. BUt I would rather have new lowering coils.
I know that the 61 to 64 f100'shave to have their floor modified a bit to sit on one of these frames, and when that is done they sit about 2" lower on the frame then mine does.
The Crown vics and such have a ton of clearance for a car. But has tons of room for lowering, near as I can tell.

Hello everyone, its been a while! THere has been some progress on the truck.
I baught some more 66 f100 sheet metal and have the entire truck mocked up except for the rear bumper and tailgate. Even have a temporary steering column in there.
I had a crazy busy fall and had to take close to 2 months off from the truck to get caught up with everything else.
I have a bunch of pictures that I need to post for you all to see. Ive been spnding alot of time lineing up body panels, doors etc..
Ive never spent much time at this part before and I find it very time consuming and tricky.
Ive also decided to put wood in the box floor, even with the hump between the wheel wells there. BUt im not going to messa round with that untill it's painted obviously.
Once I complete the mockup and everything is lined up it's onto more welding.
Im really not looking forward to rebuilding the box quarter panels, but have a couple ideas to try.
Ill try to get some pictures up tonight!
