Just wanted to bump this up to see if anyone has a step by step for the Crown Vic IFS install (or any IFS install steps)

You make it seem like that hemi swap was a extremely simple.... any struggles at all? any advice with the swap?

looks good. what frame did you swap with? side note: I just spent 2 years in Spokane and recently moved to TX Outlaw, where in Texas ? Did you keep your truck? Chris. I'm in San Angelo, TX. Uncle Sam has me down here for school. My truck is in storage. I'll never getting rid of that girl! Its drivi...

Perfect, thanks!

Can someone post a pic of how the front cab mounts look from under the cab and inside the cab?

I know its just the thin piece of rubber but i can't remember the order with washers and etc.

Thanks!

I'm moving soon and I have to pack up my house, along with the Sweptline, and put them in storage. I don't have my truck back together yet but am trying to plan out my storage unit. can some give me the measurements of thier short bed WxL? basically from end to end with all fenders, bed, etc.

What year did the crown Vick cop cars have 17" and 18" steeliness? How wide are the cop car 16" & 17"? Caveman, do you mind posting pics of the rims?

Just curious,

With the wood pannels, where do you get the metal strips that go between the wood planks? Has anyone done this on a pervious metal bed floor Sweptline?

Great looking truck & congrats on getting it back on the road. you should post more pics when you get a chance.

I'm on my phone or I would attach the link but page 2 of my build thread shows how I put my redneck engineering to work on removing my cab.

nytemuvr, Thats funny you mentioned windshields. I've told myself the same thing but when I moved up here to Washington, I've been debating on getting one for the winter months. For handlebars, right now I have drag bars but switching to 18" apes. I'm just waiting for winter before i break the bike ...

Depending on the final stance of my truck i'm either going with 16" Supremes or just rocking the stock steelies for while. Mainly just depends on the overall hieght but either way, i'll be rockin white walls.

Anyone else deal with these issues?

Its never too hot to ride a bike. Don't listen to Ray, the winters here suck but i'm also from the South. There is some pretty country up here but i'll stick to my sweet tea lovin southerners!

Do you have any more pics of your set up and it attached to the frame? when I measured, it looked like it wouldn't fit.

Wow, I just noticed the below post of relocating the rear cross member...I guess disregard this post

Ray,

You make it sound so simple. I got everything you mentioned but a press. I'm also not sure if i have a strong enough drill...
Are 4 bolts strong enough to support the cross member and a full gas tank?

I've been reading/searching the site about fuel tank options for under the bed and I really like the 22gal mustang tank. Its inexpensive, available, & works with our guages (even though i'm thinking of going with custom ones). Problem is that everyone has moved thier stock cross members to make it w...
