How did TH-cam take so long to put this in my feed?!?! Dude that is Epic! I’ll be binge watching to catch up. This is gonna be sweet!
Hell yeah!!
This was way better than the picture text videos
Thanks. Working on getting the videos down, it’ll get better.
@@FactoryFreshChannel keep it up I’m excited to follow your build! This is something I could only dream of doing
That looks amazing beautiful job man I am not a big Ford fan but those old Ford trucks and what you did there wicked
Thanks man!
Something different great work, not your typical Crown Victoria swap.
Thanks man!
WOW, another great vid!!!!! I'm binge watching you today, excellent work.... 👍👍👍
Awesome! Thanks man!!
@@FactoryFreshChannel 👍👍
ThAts gonna be so sick! And performance!
these unibody style trucks are growing on me
Man thats one amazing looking transplant!Best i seen.Great work.Would love to see it finished.Kudos to you!
Thank you sir!!
That’s the best looking mustang I have ever seen…
Haha! I agree!!
You sound like a Ray Charles
@@juanf4739 I don’t see what your saying😂
You Sir are a genius!!!!
Haha Thank You Sir!!
Niceeeeeeeeee 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽.... Gave me some ideas for my Elcamino swap👍
Heck yeah!!
Noice ! I’m subscribed buddy I look forward to watching the rest of this build
Awesome Thanks!!
Wow! I'm doing the exact same thing your doing but with a 2006 Mustang Gt and a 1967 F100 shortbed! I didn't use the back end chassis of the Mustang like you did, just the front seats forward. I plan on making a custom frame to attach to the Mustang frame and I'm using the Mustang rearend.
Don't know about you, but I've had to lift and lower that freaking cab frame over the Mustang I don't know how many times!!! LOL
Nice work so far, subscribed!
Yeah this truck being a unibody had to lift and lower the whole cab and bed as one has been a process for sure! Good luck with the build!
Awesome video!! I'm the guy with the 61 unibody cobra swap.
Vamo que vamo ford V8.
That is sweet! Please keep us updated!
Will do. Thanks for the motivation
I was just thinking about how people do this with crown vics and why not mustangs. And well brother you gave me a future project idea when I finally settle down
I've done a few vic swaps and they are very capable and cool, but yeah the newer donor you can get for the chassis like the mustang chassis really steps up the level of the truck!!
@@FactoryFreshChannel absolutely! Like if you're going to swap something, might as well make the thing newer
Sick build!! great progress!! Keep us up to date. Thanks
Thanks! Going to try and get a video out once a week
Really liked what you are doing with this project. It is a very good idea and it is looking fantastic. Good luck with it and keep us posted.
Awesome thanks man!!
That's a sweet ride. Looks awesome love the body lines
Thanks man. Those unibodies were only made between 61-63 I believe? Pretty cool though, thanks for watching
That truck is sure gonna haul ass I hear those coyotes are quite powerful.
That's awesome. I'm subscribed
Sweet! Thanks man!!
Amazing work sir ! 🤟🏽🔥
Thanks. It’s been a fun build for sure!
Sweet build thsnks
One of my dream trucks bro. Looks good she is SoCal worthy
Hell yeah thanks brotha!!
Nice job
I'm anxious to see more progress. Very nice!!
I'm in love.
😂 should be a fun little truck!!
😮 wow that’s awesome
Really nice work can’t wait to see how it turns out 👍

Nice! Can't wait to see updates!
I’ll keep them coming! Thanks for watching

New sub and new favorite build!
Awesome thanks man!!
Very impressive great work!
Thanks! Should be a fun truck when done!
Really nice work! Keep it up. 😎🇺🇸
Nice job I like ,hi front P.R.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!
Very interesting build. I am subscribing
Awesome thanks
Badass bud
Thanks man!
@@FactoryFreshChannel yes sir
❤ great work!
Thank you! 😄
WOW outstanding!! And you did that all in a 2 car garage wow keep up the great work and with a family we’re do u find the time?
Haha thanks man! Make it out to the garage whenever I get a chance!
Love it
Man, this just ran across my feed. Subscribed in a flash. Exactly what I want to do. I have a chance to grab a mustang 2017 convertible to do this with. Question, if there was a better match vehicle than the unibody what would you use?
Honestly any of the 1961-66 slicks side Ford trucks or 1967-72 bump side trucks or even newer. Unibody’s are the hardest because the bed is not separate. On all other trucks with a separate bed and cab the shortening of the bed to match the chassis is a lot easier. Good luck! The convertible mustang is a good option because it has some reenforcement in the rocker panels
This so bad ass……
Awesome! Thanks man!!
I think a mild cam would sound so good in that 5.0
Parabéns
Muy bien
Nice,,, lm building a 66 ford pickup as my winter project,, built a 45 dodge pickup last year,, lm going orginal with the orginal 352 and twin Ibeem with lowering arms,, the frame was so good and only 38,000 miles on truck l couldn't chop it up for me having 9 classic cars I'm restoring is too not melest them keeping with the old days,,l grew up with factory race cars,,my first car was a 67 Dodge charger second 70 challenger and third 73 charger SE,,,lm old school..did do TCI independent suspension on the 45 the straight Axle rode ruff,,, but the twin Ibeem was fine and I really prefer the steering box over a rack and pinion..lm not planning on circle track racing.. your telling me changing the front suspension is a bitch and changes everything to make it work and look right,, the twin Ibeem was used from 65 to 97 in ford trucks so they got it right and with the lowering kit you can get the same thing with alot less complicated of build and keep the tradition going.
Sounds like some fun builds. The difficulty in this build isn’t modernizing all the sixty year old technology it’s literally channeling and sectioning the old sheet metal over the modern muscle car. Good luck with your build
Awesome!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have a ‘61 Unibody. What did you do for your 10” chop on the box? Where did you do it on the box?
Basically cut out the wheel well below the style line. Move it forward to desired wheelbase. Cut excess of the back and rework the very rear part of the style line to match up
Awesome truck!!....and is that a ford fairmount next to the GMC?
Haha ohh yeah. Well kind of. It’s a mercury zephyr. Doing an engine swap. Put all mustang cobra brakes and rotors. 8.8 rear axle. I’ll have to shoot some videos of that when I wrench on it
That caught my eye as well.
Should use something like Katzkin leather not just to save money but because they make the best aftermarket leather seats
Incredible build! Where did you get the fire retardant foam?
Lowe’s or Home Depot. I’ll see if I can get a pic of it next time I get some.
Hey is the sitting position kind of weird now? And do you know the weight front to back?
Thks for the video
You bet!
Greetings! First time viewer. Where did you get the truck? I used to own a 62 Ford unibody short bed. It was flat red with white highlights. I sold it to my brother-in-law in 1984 in Gillette WY. He kept it for several years and then he sold it. Just thinking how cool it would be if that used to be my truck! Thank you.
Yah know it could be? I bought it from a hot rod shop in Utah that had it for sale. It was set up for 4x4 and had a divorced transfer case. Thanks for watching
@@FactoryFreshChannel Wow. I'll pass this along to my brother-in-law. I'll let you know what I find out 😃 It will be a couple of days... Wait, was the 4X4 original with the truck? Because mine was not a 4X4. (Would have been nice)
Not sure? Likely no don’t think they made 4x4 shortbed f100 unibodies? It had a 9” rear also
Sweeeeet
She’s gonna be fun!! Thanks for watching!!
I think if you chopped it like 1inch in the back and 1.5 in the front then raised the rear fender line to make it look more modern it would be sick
I had a 63 unibody. Model 66b.
Nice man!! They’re pretty unique trucks
Stainless grill
this would be a great option for my minitruck. it would take 15k to make the old chassis a fraction as advanced as the s550 platform. could you get the measurement for me of the width of the s550 as you have it cut please? sick build.
Yeah agreed this is a great platform to have a real rowdy truck with great parts for a fraction of the price retail… yeah I’ll get the width measurements for yah
Do you have videos from day one. I have a 1985 bullnose i want to do the same thing
No unfortunately I started filming a bit into the project
When will you be putting it up for sale?
Not sure if I’ll sell it. Unfortunately don’t have space to store anything nice so we’ll see…
Can you do some video shorts, to get more subs and interest, this project is fire
Thanks. Yeah I can try. What’s a video short? Guessing just a short video of some build content?

What about the windshield wipers?
I fabricated some brackets to mount the Mustang S500 wipers in the cowl
How much to do mine a have 1969 f100 to a crown Vic swapped
I live in Florida, any advice on how to register the title?
I’ve never had issues registering frame swaps in Utah. Companies sell full chassis, this is no different. Truck vin is intact and on the door use that to register
@@FactoryFreshChannel okay thanks I’m just unsure.
@@FactoryFreshChannel I thought about buying the 1967 mustang fastback conversion kit and the fabricating the front and adding those panels onto a 2016 donor. So it seems the best way is to buy a complete classic then use those parts and vin?
@kemerernicholas on a chassis swap my preference is to put a old vintage vehicle on a modern chassis for all the obvious reasons. I also like to have a complete old donor vehicle so I can register it as the old vehicle and not a newer one. You may have issues if the vehicle looks old but is registered as a modern one if it doesn’t look the part?
No one interested in how well the platform copes with such a major change in upper structure??
I’d expect torsional and beaming strength would be substantially different.
Any pre- mod data on the donor platform/ post modification test?
Their was zero flex in the unibody mustang chassis after it was cut down. Lots of added structure with the truck body tied in. The only extra support a mustang convertible has is a small support in the rocker. This is far more ridged than a lot of frames I’ve dealt with without a body attached
@@FactoryFreshChannel
I looked at doing a similar swap with some Australian GM products ( 62 body on a 1987 uni body platform ) and despite it being feasible, wheelbase and width near perfect, the project was shelved due to red tape and engineering approval ..just too much work to satisfy engineer and registration department.
I enjoyed the upload and all the work that you have done 👍🏻from Australia
How much would it cost for a build like this?
It really depends on the modern doner vehicle you buy. That will be your largest expense.
@@FactoryFreshChannel is that something you do for you, or you would do it for someone else's as well
@@vaquero2485 I usually just build projects for myself. If I was to charge hourly for these types of builds it would get really expensive. If I wanted a shop to build me something like this I wouldn’t be able to afford it…
Tengo un canal de TH-cam parecido al tuyo
Cool man. I’ll have to check it out
I'm sure you are already ahead of this, but River City did the tail light fuel filler using a capless filler from a Fusion or similar.
th-cam.com/video/NmNVxtQEK6o/w-d-xo.html
Yes sir, did see that. Definitely going to do something similar. I just need to figure out how to fit all the LED circuitry from the mustang in that pocket. Thanks for the heads up!!
Hey FF, check out this Corvette/Rambler Wagon Swap. Awesome Build ! th-cam.com/video/1VmQCnW77mc/w-d-xo.html
