What procedure did you use to locate the pins to the frame? ( the locating pins in the CV crossmember)
Are the existing jig holes in the f100 frame correctly located?
Thanks
Ben

Thats the cleanest install ive seen. i think you could sell a kit with the pipe and bushing to others wanting to do a swap.
2nd that, don't think I've ever seen anyone machine the bushings for this retrofit before? :hmm:
Nice job. :thup:

No, I had to drill for the locating pins. I actually used a diagram that a mechanical engineer on this website put together. you'd have to search to find it but he got really really technical with it.
