crown vic front suspension into 67 F100 1

[dad23boys]

I gotta say this truck is looking really good! Its like you gave it a heart transplant! The best thing about it though is that you built it with your students and I am sure you are making an impact in their lives, I still remember what I learned from my woodshop teacher.

Thanks needed to hear that. God Bless!!!!

Carry on sir, carry on

Sorry It's still sitting at the tech school on the alignment rack. We got it back together but we ran out of time to re do the wheel alignment. I am in Birmingham at school for today and tomorrow so I will try do do it Saturday when the students isn't there. You are welcome to see it up close sometime at our school just get a visitor's at the office during school hours.

Might take ya up on that some day. When I didn't see it in the lot, I figured it was either inside or on the road, either way's a good sign!

need a project truck for the next conversion to crown vic front and rear and engine/tranny?

This maybe what we will all have to do to keep our trucks on the road in the near future. i have noticed that at 19-22 mpg's in the cougar my fuel cost at current prices range from 10-16 cents a mile, at 12.6 mpgs in the truck it ranges between 26-36 cents per mile to operate.

and a 10 or 20 cent diference make the difference.

The good thing is most every thing you need to do this project can be harvested off an 03 or later retired C/V cop car or a wrecked civilian equivalent. Plus any auto part store has or can get parts for these C/V components you need for the conversion. Also my truck sure drives a lot better when it comes to the brakes and handling. I have to get my speedometer fixed so I am not so sure how off my MPG estimates with at being off but I know I am still getting a good bit better than the 14 MPG the 240 that was in it was getting. As soon as I can get the time to check how off the speedometer is and can composite for the differences I will recheck it and post the results.

FWIW, whatever ya can use from my 70 parts truck that I'm not using or have already promised away is fair game.

Hum I may have to give you a visit. There is another parts car for my VW I am looking at buying or striping in Rainbow City plus my wife is a nurse at Riverview Hospital so I have to visit your area all the time.

[dad23boys]

dad23boys,
Looking good man! Can't wait to see the "little 302" (as some folks call them) with that three on the tree on the 67!
Keep them Sand Mountain boys pointed forward!
