excellent thorough video , exactly what I was needing for details .
Most of the other Crown Vic conversations I've seen are boxed, using the stock tubes looks like it will sit about an inch lower and I especially like your rear attachment plate that didn't have to be cut into the frame, making this a cleaner, easier and less expensive way to go ❤
This helps me in my research. Thank you for this video. Looking to do a four link on my dually.
Thank you for sharing your work
Wow super cool idea
Awesome ,thanx ! Second video I've seen someone doing this
Just finished the helix mustang 2 ifs on my 1950 f1, huge pain. Although for the 1951 f1 im going to do this instead looks way better to install
Good work !!
Very nice! how do you know where to mount the coilovers to get the ideal height you want?
Do the motor mounts bolt to that crossmember or do you need another crossmember? Also, i have a 1952 ford f1. Would this work on my frame?
Do I need to use the crown vic steer box? and what year crown vic set up can I use?
Hello, very nice project you have going on. I have a question,is it a custom or where can i buy the back convertion you are putting?
I have a 56 F100 that I am trying to wrap my brain around how to upgrade suspension and steering. I have looked at many options. I have read the crown vic front end drops the vehicle by four inches which I am not interested in. Do you see a way of installing a crown vic front end that would not drop the front end that much. Also, how did you compensate for this in mounting the rear suspension
good morning. Would you like to know where you have your workshop? I am interested in changing the suspensions of my ford 79
Can you explain what the difference is when installing the 4 link outside the frame rails and installing them inside the frame rails? I’ve seen different kits for my 49 f1. Trying to figure out where to install the 4 links
Did you even clean the steel before welding?
What brand 4 link kit did you buy?
I have a 52 f1 which is the narrow frame, what year crown vic front end did you use and what year truck frame are you installing it in.. hearing you have to narrow the crown vic cross member to fit the 52 frame.
What year crown vic was the front end? The rear end came from what year and model car?
Will this work on a 1950 frame? I thought they were too narrow?
What is the measurements from the front of the frame to the crown vic bolt bracket? Thank you.
What pinion angle did you give the rear axle?
Do you have any specs on the crown vic suspension frame to frame length and rotor to rotor?
Hi good job where did you get your parts for the rear. End
Do they make lowing spindles for front thks and who's kit for rear please
Nice job
How did you set your piniin angle
Can the total cost involved rear link be tailored for ride height?
Ive seen a lot of Crown Vic conversions seems a good upgrade but nothing as far as engine mounts for installing any engine.I have a 60 F100 with a tired motor and am debating the conversion becuase of what is involved with installing modern engine.Unless its a bolt in thing.
Thanks .I'm planning to swapping a crown vic front end to my ford 1949 f1.
Did you ever do the swap?
Hi were i can get those rear 4-link setup.
Nice. Whats the width of that ford frame where the crown vic suspension mounts? thanks
Hey bud I know it's 2 years later I have a big question I'm reaching out to every ford guy I'm a gm guy and the 50s bel air are much easier I'm building a 1956 Fairlane whats the best way to get a wider tire on the rears I hear 8.8 rear from ford ranger any other information u could provide
Any chance of a paper that uses old original holes and shows new holes needed for front end drilling? I would pay for such information. Thanks looks great.
What year an make is the tear diff ?
My tubes do have treads and gide sleeve in bottom of tube
Made my tubes and bought some brackets off outcast any way yours is clean ! Are you doing any boxing in mines a 1965 f100
what are the measures
Can I do this with a 2 Door 49 Buick Sadenette
I watched the video I like how you install the crown Vic front end. My question is can you use the donors power steering from a mustang to fit the crown Vic it's a 94 GT
I used '98 Explorer power steering pump on mine and adapted to the Vic rack and pinion. You should be able to do the same. You'll just need the purple fittings you can find online and have some hydraulic hoses made.
With the 4 link do you still have to do a C notch in the frame or can you get by without doing that - I have a similar project
Not sure as this one was a while back for me
How much would it cost ? If do it in my ford truck.labor @ parts?
Hi mr Peterson just a quick question if you don’t mind me asking.
The crown Vic guide pin, how much forward did you do? Is it 1” from center hole? Please advise thanks.
Sorry but I cant remember on that one, it's been a couple years since I did this job.
I’d like this for an idea for my 1950 Ford coupe i’m just wondering how much of a pain in the butt would be
Hi there.
I will be doing this to my ford truck.
You've done a real nice job. Smart and Very Clean and it looks strong.
What is your frame width at crown vic location... outside to outside.
What is year of crown vic front end?
I'm not quite sure of those anymore, it was a customers car
Kool vid man, so with your 4 link in the back are u able to lower if u wanted to?
I kinda do wanna c notch my truck
It had different mounting point for adjustability yes
Great video. Could I do the exact same thing for my 1949 ford f100??
Sterling Witherspoon it depends on if you want to do it. I did it to my buddy’s 63 with basic tools and a welder. It’s not that hard just patients and measuring. A lot of videos on yt do your homework first and plan. Good luck buddy!
Can you let me know how you decided where to locate the rear mounting plates for the front control arms to make sure your camber adjustment was within spec range I'm doing the same install in a 56 with a mustang it's in the rear thanks for your video
This was so long ago for a customer I do t remember sorry
I'm having the same issue on my 68 international I don't know where they need to be.
Nice
Have u found a good header set up. Im doing a 57 and im worried about clearance issues
Not sure I mainly do mustangs, did this suspension for a friend
What year Ford is it
Great work! Could I use this same front suspension on my 1949 F-100??
I have a 51 Ford and looking into getting a team 321 Crown vic conversion kit...the crossmember comes ready to weld in for 800 bucks.
Zac Babcock ok so that’s easier than doing this?
Hey where did you get the 4 link rear suspension at?
The customer bought it so I'm not quite sure
I have a 55 frame that im about to do with this same set up. I see that u didnt really do any modifictions other then welding the tubes for the long bolts, what yr is that frame because the arch on my frame is a little higher and the frame doesnt sit flush on the CV like yours does.
I'm not quite sure anymore, it was a customers car from a while back, sorry
Thank u.
I hope the owner will have the frame sandblasted or otherwise cleaned, and painted. Would be a shame to leave the new shiny stuff on a rusty frame.
The suspension used to be a all-drum brake system, right? Im wondering how should one setup the braking bias on a truck with new frontend disc brakes.
If i could ask, how did you measure where the frontend goes? simply end of the frame to the center of the axle?
I put the front clip on and eyed it up!
Where could I get a 4 link suspension for my f100
I believe this one was from TCI
Where did buy the rear 4 link?
It was a customers car and he brought the kit to me
What brand rear 4 link did you install?
TCI
Thanks
Would it work on a 1964 ford f100?
I'm not sure I normally only work on mustangs
Only to install the front end. How much.?
Sorry but I only work on mustangs now, that was for a friend
What year was that Crown Victoria
Not quite sure it was a while back
This must be a 53+ f100 frame they are 34" wide.
The 48 to 52 F1 frames are only 32" wide. I wish it bolted into my F1 but it is a lot more work. (Not impossible)
I would love to see a video of it done in a F1.
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Enrique Briggs Instablaster =)
@Joseph Lewis i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Joseph Lewis It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Enrique Briggs Happy to help :D
How much do you charge to do this?
I only do mustangs now after this
Can you put a link for the 4 link
The customer provided it, not sure where to get it
Dude if you cant answer questions just disable the comment section.
Can anyone tell me if 05 or 04 crown vic suspension has a better year to use.
Not quite sure myself on that
@@petersonrestorations , what was the static ride height of the truck in your video?
@@exquisiteremodeling1 sorry but it was a while ago for a customer and dont remember
@@petersonrestorations by any chance do you know someone that i could get some technical info from?
@@exquisiteremodeling1 I would keep searching UA-cam for someone, I'm not sure
Try installing a Electric Power steering pump out of a Volvo. Save some horse power. 💯 there cheap on ebay 150 bucks
Now you have to paint it
This was a customers car and that's all he wanted done
Sorry, opinion angle
I charge 200hrs for this set up amerikq
por qué tanto anuncio comercial por se aprovechan del internet que uno paga para promocionar sus negocios me tienen arto
I have a question ⁉️ ❓⁉️ but I'm afraid yo ain't gonna answer my ❓, so ain't gonna ask! like in the other comments yo ain't answered to.... 😀.....😹
I can’t believe all this fabrication was done on a rusty frame … makes no sense why anyone would not blast it and painted to before fabrication to make a nice job.
