Right on HiBoy. I hope to keep all the steps and little details I encounter along the way up to date and informative as well as entertaining. Happy fourth to you and your family HiBoy.

She's got a Pretty heart and a nice pair of valve covers. Very nice!

Damn cobwebs. I figured as much. Not to worry, I'll be working on some stuff here soon that should draw some serious attention. I just got to get through all the boring dismantling parts of this project. Just scored some pipe to finish up the frontend swap. I'm looking at buying a 2000 explore (v8 m...

"Dude,how was work today?" Me, "It sucked." "Yea?" Me, " Yeah, I much rather have spent my day wasted away working on my sweet ass ride." "I bet. That thing is gonna be freak'n awesome!" Me, "Hell yeah!" "Hell Yeah! Me, "Let's blo...

Got my k-member out today finally. I thought I might try and cut it out in one piece. No such luck, so I cut it with a saws all type deal and a cut off wheel. Now I got it up and in a relative location till I drill some holes and get some pipe. It's so damn hot here I need to throw in the towel till...

Sorry to hear about your co worker and thanks for the advice.

No doubt. Hydrating right now. I was sweating like a bastard to get that k-member out. Done deal and got new k member sitting up on frame now. Gonna look sweet!

Well this morning I've been draining my gas out of my tank. While this is happening a trickle at a time. No, just a lot of fuel in the tank. I've been pondering about my engine as it sits off to the side. Still not quite sure as to what fe I am looking at. Yesterday I drained the oil and found the h...

Legend has it . The only way to get one is to buy used. The old man who made them, can't sell even the ones he has left. The old man took the buy out from big oil. Legend has it...

Got some more parts yesterday in the mail. I found some Threaded tube inserts to fit my 1 3/4 120 wall dom tubing. Finally! The price was great and the product looks good as well. They were only 10.99 a piece. I'd like to add that they only get cheaper the smaller you go. Here's some shots. http://i...

If your dash lights don't come on when you turn the knob, you can do a little test. Pull the light switch and take some 600- 400 grit sand paper a a tiny strip of paper. Run it between the the rheostat contact and the spring deally. You will notice it when you see it. It controls your dash lights wh...

I just got home from work. I'll check it out for you in the morning 9mm.

Yea, I'm not sure about that either. Mine's a 65 styleside 2wd dana 44 with posi traction. Not sure that is what the factory called it. So I went with traction lock. :burp: Thanks. I think, since I'm doing a cv swap. I'll use the eye beams to hold the frame straight. Instead of wasting good square t...

Good morning all. I have A 1965 f100 SWB. I have recently tore out my suspension, steering and brake systems. Upgrading all to Crown Vic. I'm curious if there is any value to these parts. I have a complete Dana 44 with 3.something gear ratio with a traction lock. Leaf springs and all the mounting br...

I got a little further over the last couple of days.




One step closer to getting Crown Vic front swap in.

Thanks John. I fear the hard work is about to start with boxing the frame. Might end up needing to buy a new makita for the job, and about a hundred cut off wheels. Should be fun though.

Today I finally finished welding up my step notches. 3hrs. here and a couple hours there. Got her done. I also got the motor pulled out and front suspension exposed to through in the crown vic front end, Thanks for all the help with that Unibody Madness. Mad props... Also unibody brought me a hood w...

Well a little update. I got everything tore out of the rear frame. Popped all rivets and removed brackets. Once I removed the bed I noticed the frame wasn't even top to bottom. Today I cut the frame to 2 5/8 on top and cut the bent portion on the bottom out. Im gonna cut and weld a piece in. Then ma...

Some things I have been messing with on my Slick. http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b552/milldinaire/DSC00245_zps1b4e3d15.jpg A radiator replacement and yes the trans cooler is in an unorthadox position. Placed back where it was mounted originally. http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b552/milldina...

Hey Rich thanks for your input. I will definitely post pics today Aaron, grave shift is a mother. Shift linkage is solo on drivers side. Two levers same shaft independent of each other on passenger side. One is hooked up to kick down. The other lever is bent as to interfere with kick down. Not on pu...
