98 explorer

Post by bigcee »

[quote][/quote]I have acquired a 98 explorer 2wd, 5.0. I was wondering if anyone has put the front suspension from the explorer under a 66 f100. If so, is it like doing a cv swap? Any info is greatly appreciated.

It is nothing like the cv swap!!!!!!!!! The cv almost bolts right in as the explorer would be a cut frame off and weld in a big chunk of explorer frame. The explorer is also quite a bit narrower than your original truck would be.

I'm not saying that it cant be done just a lot more work involved!
