    My son and I are doing a 66 F100 on a 05 grand marquis. Planning for it to be his daily when he turns 16.

      That's awesome! What's the wheel base, will the truck bed have to be cut any?

      I raised the floor 7 inches so I didn't have to lower the suspension and loose ride quality.

    Just found your Channel. I'd like to make a suggestion that you organize your playlist so people can binge-watch you and then you'd have people like me that would check out your builds and decide whether they want to subscribe.

    Just bought a ‘52 F1 today, looking to do this swap soon. I’d love to hear more about your build since I’ll be doing the same thing.

      Ivan Krauser mine chassis is a 4 door 97 explorer, wheel base is 2 inches shorter then original truck wheel base but I personally don't care

      Kirby Ammons jr I didn't cut the frame its 2 inches shorter I'm just going to cut the rear fenders and slide the wheel openings forward. Mine is a 5.0, a 5.4 would work if you cut some sheet metal. I'm going to have a progress video up soon to show what I've done as far as floors and mounts.
