Man that looks great
Thank you. Been a long build, working at it little by little.
So could I just get the fender brackets because I have a steel front bumper that’s welded so I won’t need the bumper brackets
The kit that I used is made by McNasty Customz. They have a couple of different kits you can choose from. Hope this help you out.
looking good bro! I've been contemplating if i wanna do the front end swap after i finish the 12 valve swap
matt burke I think it’s worth it just make sure you have plenty of time to get everything exactly how you want it.
@@FitMafiaBuilds agreed, I work 12 hr plus days driving a toetruck. So my days off are scarce... But when j get vacation time is when I plan on doing my swap.... Then the next year I'm planning on slowly buying the front end parts and when I get another vacation I can do the front end swap and my paint job
@@mattburke5356 Are you doing a 12 valve swap into an Ex too? I picked up a 2000 a couple of weeks ago & already have a 12 valve on my engine stand that I've been building. Personally, I think it's the ultimate vehicle for this conversion
I don’t know jack about cars, what engine are you talking about when you say 12 valve? And what are you taking out to put the 12 valve in?
@@mattofalltrades9758 a 12 valve is the first gen of the cummins 5.9 diesel. and the 24 valve is the 2nd generation of this amazing engine
Can you send me a link of where to get that modifying kit.
Yes you can check them out at mcnastycustomz.com
What windshield wiper motor and wiper arms did you use?
The wiper transmission is from a 08-10 f250 with the original wiper motor and original wiper arms.
What size nutserts are you using?
@baseballneal86 We used all M8 nutserts, that way we could used all factory bolts and make it look as original as possible.
Great video, did you pick your fenders/body parts off of ebay?
No I picked most of them up from Marketplace and LKQ
Which fender liner did you use? 11-16 or the Excursion's? Thanks
I used the 11-16 f250 fender liners.
@@FitMafiaBuilds Thanks I'm doing a 2000 f350 , the wheel liners are fighting me.
Yes that’s the good thing about the ones that match the fender they will go right in and bolt up to the fender and I just made 1 bracket for the front of each liner to help hold them in proper place. I think that will work much better for you. Good luck on your swap.
@@FitMafiaBuilds Thanks, can you post a picture of the bracket.
I can send you some pics of it tomorrow if you want to find me on Instagram at real_waltcorbett
did you move your hood adjusters / supports mine are way off
From everything I’ve read the hood needs to be lifted 1/2 inch so I used a 1/4 spacer under the hinge and 1/4 spacer under the hood where the hinge bolts up.
@@FitMafiaBuilds Thanks, back to the hood battle
Yes sir let me know how it goes and what you do with your to make it work.
...how high did the insurance for that truck went up after the job was finished??...
Not finished yet, but we will do a full overview of the truck once it’s complete. I will also include a price breakdown.
Hey great video how much would you charge to do a similar project?
Prices just vary on if you are wanting us to find the parts and if you go with factory parts or aftermarket parts. Labor will also depend on quality of parts and the kit that you use to mount the fenders hood and bumper is right at 800 I believe. Labor would be around the 1,500 to 2,500 dollar range. Hope this helps
Hello, how are you doing that transformation more or less how much it comes out in pieces and if it is necessary to change the hood and keep mud or just the front in money, an estimate of how much you spend 5,000 dollars or more
The kit that I used to bolt everything on is made by McNasty customz. Then you will need to source a hood, hood hinges. Fenders, grille and bumper. Sometime you can find used parts which is usually better due to being made by Ford. So you could spend anywhere between 3-5 thousand on this swap.
We’re you located I did mine but my front end don’t line up as nice
josuequintero1990 we are in Aiken South Carolina, what type of issues was yours having. We spent a lot of time aligning panels to get that fitment.
FitMafia Builds headlights don’t line up and hood
Yes I noticed the brackets that hold the inner part of the headlights needs to be bent inward and then you need to space them out on a angle. I’ve read that the good needs to be raised up around a 1/2 inch to fit perfectly
FitMafia Builds that explains a lot going to take off the whole from the end and see if I can get it to line up better thanks 👍🏻
Yes I hope it helps you.
Hi how can I contact you?? I want to convert my excursion and I really like your project
thank you
You can contact me at real_waltcorbett on Instagram it has our contact info in interested
what would your shop charge for something like this. Would like to do 16 swap
Versacon International it all depends on parts availability and if you want to go all stock or have it all paint matched or aftermarket parts.
FitMafia Builds let’s say I have the donor truck. Stock. Would only match new front end to black like my current excursion
Versacon International if you had all the body parts what we would have to do is get the conversion kit which it’s around 800-1000 depending on which bumper brackets you go with. Labor for swap would run between 1500-1800. And paint would run between 1000-1500 depending on condition and how far we go with paint match bumpers grille etc.
