Yeah, I'm pretty sure those lowers are supposed to go either all the way inside the frame on a boxed section or all the way out. I would box a much bigger section around those uppers as well. I'm doing this same kit with the same rearend in a '67 right now.
at 15:08 you are showing the upper links, I think you have them installed at about a 45 degree angle. While this is good for lateral stability and less load on the links during cornering, the ride can be somewhat less desirable. Shouldn't a 30-35 degree angle be used instead? And maybe a bit more down angle on it too?
Too bad you don't have the right box for the truck. If you had the right box ( 53 thru 79 ) it would look so much better. Plus rather than moving the axle and changing the wheel base, I would have relocated the fenders to match the axle location. But that's my opinion. Either way it's great seeing younger ones taking an interest in the older iron. Keep it up. Where in Wisconsin are you guys at? I'm in northeastern Minnesota.
Which rear axle did you guys used and suspension as well. I’m doing my own build already installed the crown vics suspension but I don’t know which axle I should use. Thanks in advance
I realize im seeing this 9 months later but did you guys know those are NOT 1955 rear fenders?! They are earlier. '54 or '55 cab & front clip but the rear fenders are from a F1.
You move the camera right to left to much. Otherwise a good video. Watch your video you will see what I mean. Not trying to criticize just trying to Help. .

SeanPaintsFlames they can but don’t have to, we’ve done a few like this and they seem to work just fine, I like them to be as straight as possible.
Right on guys... nice build!

hey thanks for the video it helped me with my install. quick question, what coil overs are those????
Check pinion angle ?
How did that ride after you were done?
Did shortening the top bars make your differential / drive shaft angle roll too much as it travelled thru its arc???
No, I don’t see hardly any roll while it is articulating
what axle is that out of
Which rear axle did you guys used and suspension as well. I’m doing my own build already installed the crown vics suspension but I don’t know which axle I should use. Thanks in advance
When you set your ride height that you wanted how far did your ride sit once you put it under load.
Wondering I have mine right where I want it to sit wondering went I put all the weight on it how much further is it going to drop I heard 2”
Yes roughly 2” of sag loaded
I realize im seeing this 9 months later but did you guys know those are NOT 1955 rear fenders?! They are earlier. '54 or '55 cab & front clip but the rear fenders are from a F1.
Yes sir, and the box itself is from a different truck as well
Guys check 12:39m for me.
Why not move those lower bars out to the outside of the frame and weld mount solid to frame rail side
John k I could but prefer the bars to be as straight as possible. They seem to work fine in either configuration
Any issues with such short uppers?
Negative. Truck rode like a new rig!
Does anyone know what year the Crown Vic is?
Where did you get the 4 link
Ebay
Did you build all of this custom? Or, is this a kit you bought? If it was a kit, can you drop the link to it?
Thanks,
What head lights are those?
How do you find anything?
What percentage of your time is spent working on customers cars vs building project vehicles?
Andre Rossouw probably a 25-75 slit
