1962 F100 Wrongbed Crown Vic Swap

Nice little Wrongbed 1962 F100 I am doing a full rebuild on for a customer. Crown Vic front suspension, 4.6/4R75 out of a 2005 Town Car, 2001 CV rear end and complete rewire.

Was eating at a favorite place a while back, a car moved, and there was this CV swap (with some minor patina). I like the exhaust exits. Sounded right purty too.

More progress on the Wrongbed. Dropped the engine and transmission in, modified and installed a transmission mount and swapped in a 2001 CV rear 8.8 for full disc brakes. We received the new engine/transmission harness from Hotwire Auto. Next, we will pull the bed to see what kind if tank has been fitted and look at EFI pump options.

I am not sure what kind of tank this is, but it was in the truck and it was almost brand new. I modded it with a Tanks Inc EFI Pickup and Walbro Pump.

Update

Not much Picture worthy, but did get a chance to install a Lokar Floor Shifter. It came out really nice. Now we need to get a boot to make the install complete.


Next up is to complete the wiring with the new engine/transmission harness:


Then I can install and wire the new FT61B Classic Instrument Gauges:


After that, its just re-assembly, exhaust, some new tires and a custom driveshaft.

I used this pump and pickup in my tank when I added the Sniper. I had my tank, a Mustang unit already mounted under the bed, modified to mount the pump. I wish mine had as much flat area on the top as the one pictured. Mine had "ribs" in it and had to have some flat welded in. I didn't want to buy a new baffled tank because I didn't want to deal with any issues mounting the new tank, as I was trying to get everything back together and running in time for 2024 Power Tour. In the end the money I spent on the tank work was equal to a new tank, and the time it took to get it done meant I missed PT.

I did, however put 1600 or so miles on it at last year's Power Tour without a lick of trouble from the tank or pump, so that's something.

Must be cool for the customer to see progress on the videos. I would be itching to drive it.
