2 pics of the wiring from firewall to the rear of the car. The other is of the dead body waiting for the morgue to pick it up.

C.K., if I used that method I should have enough for about 50 trucks.

We were getting on I74 yesterday in East Peoria, and I saw a Ford Explorer sitting on the shoulder of the westbound lane, and I told my wife it was a State Cop. She asked how I knew. First thing was the black spotlight on the driver side, plus the color of the car, and it being an Explorer.

Bob, I'm trying to reduce my pile, not cause it to enlarge. This project was started to use up 1 more set of wheels left over from the past.

After this, I only have 1 more set left.

But what if you ever need to light up a spot :?: :?: :?:
Isn't that what spotlights are for :?: :?:

:?

I've been in the dark for a long time so I'm used to it. No better than my vision is, that light would be like a small candle.

Theres a local bootscooting establishment here that would make two booths out of that body.

I found another front end on ebay for less than the others. I bought it so I would have a complete crown vic chassis in case I go nuts and do another one.

The pics are of the front end, cleaned up some on wheels as to move it to the "outside storage" dept. and the temp in the garage. Many won't be excited but it's about to be summer and I'm happy.

Those front end's are neat but they seem to go from here to WAY over there in width ....Something like 68" from WMS to WMS :?:
Everyone says you need to run SEVERE positive offset wheel when using them.....

Makes the look kinda strange :?: :?:

You are correct, Bob. A truck really looks pro touring after the installation. Years ago, I had a discussion with Steve from Industrial Chassis about the front ends available. One of the items he mentioned was tread width. My 51 is a victim of that. There always seems to be compromises in this.

Bushwhackers and Gumbo Mudders, problem solved.

That is indeed a nifty suspension assembly, what DO they match up good on? It's construction certainly leaves little room for modification.

The CV spindles will fit on a fox body Mustang front suspension by using a SN95 Mustang lower ball joint, and a fabricated upper control arm. It will still be 61" WMF.
