Promised a pic of the GT when I got some, this was taken yesterday. http://fordtruk.com/forums/album_showpa ... ser_id=292

The way you did it IS much easier, I just don't want to mess with my step wells. I still like the 04 crn vic crossmember but I can get a whole running and driving (read as donor driveline + alot of useable stuff) 80s crn vic for the same $ as the 04 crossmember. Has anybody thought of doing a subfr...

DANG! A radio for the fridge! We'd get one but we have a radio in the kitchen.

That sounds cool! A Shelby Uni? May be a cool to see JC's ultra rare Holman Moody Nascar Uni parked by it at SS08. JC's truck won the 1964 Crapman truck series, I think it was driven by a guy named Bob Square something. I'll see if I can find that picture of it with the pit crew.

I have used the heavier gear lube up here in the midwest with no cold weather issues. But then you gotta figure a 40+ year old tranny may have a little more clearance in it than a new one.

It should be fine, the EFI engines (late 80s thru 90s that had this tranny) have different cylinder heads but "late" style Windsors started in 1982 I believe (may still bolt up to an early Windsor, flywheel would be the issue there). The only real fabrication issue you should have involve...

For a lower ride height you can notch the frame and then box it just like with any other front end swap. I agree that it looks like it will be low enough just set right on the frame, I hope that will set mine down where I want it. It looks like I could set the crossmember under the front end for a ...

THIS IS JUST COOL! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mus ... 3851QQrdZ1

As for placement I would put on my front clip (or at least the fenders) and line it up in the front wheelwells. You could also use the bumpstop on your frame lined up with the spindles for a stock location. Alot of people believe that a lowered straight axel truck looks better with the front wheels...

Lets see, long list (I've owned about 50 cars & trucks over the years). 1971 Torino GT 429, 1967 Couger XR-7, 1965 Mercury Comet, 1967 Mustang Fastback, 1979 Mustang Cobra, 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger (yeah I know but the little shit was a ball to drive), 1965 Chrysler 300 L, kinda wish I still h...

Here is a pic gallery from FTE (dare I say that here?) that shows the install. You could probably modify the column from the vic but there are plenty of options on columns. http://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gallery ... umid=16991

The best option is to box the frame in the front and use the crossmember from a 04 or newer crown victoria police car. It has an aluminum crossmember, power rack & pinion, tubular upper & lower control arms, and get this, after you box your frame it bolts on! They seem to go for about $500,...
