Re: Crown vic ideas and info

I have done it on a F100, and it works good. Although a Jag front crossmember makes a equally attractive item depending on your goals.

If I wanted a handling truck that could still be a truck the CV is it. If I wanted a slammed truck to profile. The Jag makes good sense sense it being steel offer fabrication advantages.

On a Chevy. Honestly it leaves a few things to be desired on a effort vs outcomes ratio.

Both are capable of the same ride height.

Both are capable of handling roughly the same loads. Or what ever your C10 can do legally.

Both can have the same handling outcomes. The C10 is bolt on, and the CV requires welding.

Both have the same or similar brake outcomes. The C10 is bolt on, but the CV is easy enough.

The CV has a good rack, but the C10 cab have one too.

If I was building a near race car. I would choose the CV. If I was building a street bomber I would keep it C10.

Not to say if you had a CV I would not use its full suspension or if i got it stupid cheap. I can't speak for you budget or skill levels.
