However, I did talk to a great person by the name of Brett from Fatman Fabrications (His truck is the teal 67 F100 on the website) and they have a kit specially made for the 65 F100 for $2800.00 (Stage 4 which includes cups for airbag setup). He was so Kool. He sent me the build sheet for the Mustang II swap and highlighted all the parts I was interested in on the Catalog he sent me. He was a great help but that is a lot of money.

My question, Is the 65 and on F100's more front heavy than the previous F100's? Does it really make a difference? Has anyone put a Mustang II front end in their F100?

PS
I am also one of those guys that does not believe in mixing GM and Ford. I hate to see a Perfectly built 56 F100 and find a 350 or 454 inside it. If you want a Chevy then Buy a Chevy! I love all classic trucks, be it GM, Dodge, Ford, Studebaker etc., a classic is still a classic!!! I just prefer FORD!!!

where do you live? Ill build you a complete front crossmember with custom hand made control arms/power rack and pinion, for 2200. And absoutly no one else will have it. 1 off, custom.

or if you want to be a real bad ass. Ill build you a full tube chassis

hand made IFS, probably with mustang spindles though
full tube chassis front to back all tig welded(or 2 by 4 if you want it to be cheaper)
IRS(if you dont want IRS triangulated foward 4 link.
slam specalties bags
8-1/2 inch valves
chrome hardlined air set up(if you want it to be cheaper 1/2 inch DOT airline)
2 viar 480 compressors
2 3 gallon tanks ( or i can build your frame air tight, and the whole frame can be your tanks)

everything for 8-10 grand. in black chassis paint.

for 10-14 grand ill paint it and cut and buff it!

cant beat the price anywhere, i promise.

note that i hate bondo, but will willingly admit that my bed has quiet a bit on it. This truck was in beyond rough shape when i got it. there was atleast 4-5 gallons of bondo on just the bed. up to 1 inch thick in spots, now its never more tha 1/8 inch. but the bed was to trashed to not use it.

i dont mean to threadjack i just wanted to share.

oh yeah, heres bagged on i beams.
