Looks like I will be hanging in the other forum as well now, just picked up a 1960 F100 project, super clean, partially apart and not on the road since 1968. Not sure yet if it will be getting a full crown vic P71 chassis swap or just the drivetrain and suspension. Been looking for one of these for awhile, psyched to have found a good one!
I agree on the green, also has cream colored wheels which I like. I believe I am the third owner, the person I bought it from had it since 1997 and did not do anything with it other than the minor disassembly, spray primer on it, and store it. I really want to try and get the primer off and save the original paint, first step will be a pressure washer.
Nice truck, body looks straight. But your Chebby fender needs some loving.
Yep, northeast winters are not kind to trucks, I normally buy a cheap work truck every 5 years. This one is on year 3 of the 5 year plan and has been an excellent tow vehicle.

Not sure how to answer that so I admit to nothing! Never know if my wife will see this LOL! I have learned that I can only drive one at a time, so I definitely have too many, and plans are already in my head to start thinning the herd.
Picked up the other part of the build, 2009 P71, low miles and swiped on the front by a guy running from the cops according to the previous owner LOL.. 4.6 auto with the 3:55 posi. Got the original police car wheels as well. Full frame swap will be done.
I saw a full frame swap of this nature not long ago, on Youtube, I think. The truck was a '67-'72 some TV show type. Pretty cool!
Here it is. I was wrong on the era of truck.
Yep, it has been done by many others before me. It just looks like a fun way to make a great handling truck. The Crown Vic chassis is basically a hot rod chassis, not many passenger cars with a four link and watts link from the factory. I just have to do one for myself now LOL.

I watched the video that Jeff posted, looks like a real cool project, you certainly have some good vehicles to work with. It should be a super cool truck when your done. Cant help but remember that all the Crown Vic's,that I ever road in had very hard plastic back seats, and the doors only opened from the outside, plus a cage of some sort probably a new safety feature they were experimenting with back then, LOL. (24 years sober now, no more hard back seats)
