    Made some headway on the project last night. I finished taking the front clip off the crown vic and I'm almost ready to pull the engine and trans. I should have the engine out today and possibly the front suspension.

    More progress on project RUSTY REBEL. I got all of the brackets and linkages cut off of the crown vic rear axle and got it and the front suspension mocked up under the truck. I have to buy some new axle perches, u bolts and u bolt plates but those won't be hard to find. I started drilling the mounting holes for the front cross member last night and hope to finish the top ones and put the spacers in tonight.

    I bought my son a 78 SB F150 4X4 for his 18th birthday two years ago. He wants to do exactly the same thing with his truck including swapping to a 2wd frontend and slammin the whole truck... probably airbag it. I was giving him a hard time because its a factory SB 4X dentside which is worth a lot of money around these parts and his friends have been even tougher on him about it but I gave him the truck as a gift and he's free to build his vision as he sees fit so I'm going to show him this thread tonight so he knows he's not the only guy out there with this vision....and a fellow trike lover no less.

    Love the progress

    Hopefully he will want to do something like this. If hes wanting to convert it to 2wd with stock style beams he should start looking for another frame. I think it l would be too much work to try to make a 4x4 frame 2wd unless you do something like this or cut the frame and graft in an older crown vic or Dodge Dakota suspension. It sounds like a cool project ironchop.

    Got the truck out of the garage today to make room for some other projects. In the mean time I'm going to order some parts and get them ready for when the truck comes back in...

    I really like the stance

    Well, after going on 4 years of not being worked on and a few unsuccessful attempts to sell it over that time I'm hoping to use some of the money I'm making on my deployment to buy the stuff I need to get this truck back on the road. Hopefully everything works out and I can drive it once again after I get home Lol.
