Re: 2007 Crown Vic IFS /1953 GMC swap
As Blue Jeep said it tends to work on the bigger wider trucks and ones with wide apart frame rails like the Fords and Binders have. You don't use the whole frame as there is none you use the front crossmember and suspension and rear suspension. Look at the above photos that Blue Jeep posted carefully and you will see that even on the really wide trucks wheel choices are really limited to what amount to front wheel drive offsets.
This is a long thread on Ford trucks . com that was started by Carcrafter22 who stuck one under his 66 F100 and put a 4BT diesel in it. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/71...o-67-f100.html Read through it and read it close and you will see that while it works for WIDE trucks it won't work for our trucks.
The front crossmember is also aluminum meaning that 99.9% of the people who build trucks can't modify it properly to fit other vehicles.
