Re: camaro subframe

All brand bashing aside, I don't really know much about them or why they never caught on with slicks, the one that really seems to have stuck was the crown Vic, followed by the Dakota kit supplied by Industrial Chassis.

{quote} assuming the UR is a typo, since there isn't a code U shown on any of the '61-'66 code charts I have, including the '60-'62 Ford/Mercury of Canada Collision Body Parts manual or in the '64-'72 MPC.

Re: Crown Vic Frame Swap Debate

Foostick's LTD started out a 351 but he swapped in an old UPS van 300 he thought to be in way better condtion. I doubt the electrics were much more complicated than your truck would demand. I have driven Foodstick's and I tell you it drives like an absolute dream, I would recommend that swap to anyo...

Re: Gonna be asking a LOT of questions here....be prepared!

Fordification is a wonderfully organized and easy-to-find-things-on site that both me and a friend who was restoring a 67 Merc found extremely valuable when we were working on Bumpsides. Now there's the equally well put together Dentside site too. I welcome any information Keith wants to compile, in...

Re: Ranger Information

Just curious. I have always loved the Rangers, the first one I saw was ca. 1980 in Kelowna BC. I can't tell you if it was a Merc or a Ford.. my memory steers me to Merc but I just wouldn't bet my life on it. It did make quite an impression on me tho as when i found out it was built by the factory th...
