that's what trucks are for i hate to say it but after you did a frame swap it looks like you'd be Fred Flintstone before long with those floors? and i know you said you're not looking for a big project but this looks like a great Crown Vic floor & chassis candidate if the body above the floors checks out, major project there though, hard to tell from pics another option, find a rust free southern car for sale that you can swap this car into

i've never thought about how far back Crown Vic might be applicable? check out this project thread, pretty much 'just doing floors' LOL but floors from a different car an older LTD / Crown Vic would have similar driveline & mounts to the 1973 Torino

A Crown Vic frame swap might is quite a bit more work. See this thread where this guy is doing one:
Anyone heard from Joe (UnlovedFord) lately? He may have a frame or two in his collection.

last i knew joe had one he wanted gone was all disassembled ready to go but don't remember what year frame it was?
what about dave (hogfiddles) i think he posted that he got a 72 parts car for the frame and front cip to use on his 73... if his 73 frame is good, might be an option for you??? |
