| it is like self abuse. You must do so much it is a ton of work and grief. You will haveto upgrade every component of the truck. It is so much easier to start with a later year that has the acomodation for the engines size and weight. Now if you are determined to do it the easiest thing to do would be to contact Crites and see what they have for the T-bolt conversion. If you dont like their prices, you can locate a donor Econoline and install the straight front axle set up under it. Or you can use a Mutang II set up with the mods it takes. Or if you can fabricate the necessary fender hold downs and graft a 66 or later front end to your firewall. This way you can install the roll bar tubes through the floor and tie it in with the subframe splice and have some rigidity. You will need it. I drag raced Ranchero's and Fairlane's and can tell you it is much harder to get the truck to keep from twisting. |
