1972 F-100 Project 4 Kids 4 Projects

[Crestronwizard]

Hi All. Well, my second child turned 16 so of course we need to build him something. This one wants a real driver. Something for everyday. Starting with a 72 F-100 Short Bed. Getting a Coyote Engine, 4 Speed auto, Coil Over Front, Custom Wheels and a paint job. Don't plan to get too crazy with this one.

Love it. I will be watching...

[Crestronwizard]

Thanks. This is the nicest base vehicle I've ever started a personal project on. Kinda weird to not have months of rust repair first. We're trying to have this one done by Christmas, which would make it the fastest project completion too, lol.

[HotRod47]

I have a 70. They are great trucks, looking forward to your progress.

[Boxjohn]

interesting.

What 4 speed auto are you going with, how will it bolt up to the Coyote, and is there a reason beyond budget you're going with it instead of a 5 or 6 speed auto?

[Crestronwizard]

interesting.

It's the 4R70W. Bolts up no problem. There isn't a controller out (yet) for the 6 speed auto. Only a couple of people have made the 6 speed work and I'm not interested in adding the time and complexity to make it work.

[Crestronwizard]

Crossmember is out. Should have the IFS one in next week and set the drivetrain to see what we're working with.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[twosaturns]

are you putting a crown vic from end in it?

looking forward to this; I had an '83 F-100 from my father in law when I first got married in '95. always wanted to put a 5.0/T-5 combo in there but funds wouldn't allow it at the time.

[Crestronwizard]

Yes Crown Vic front and a Lincoln MK 8 IRS should be fun to drive.

[Motown 454]

Nice clean truck. This should be a fun truck when your done with it.

[sdg0080]

That will be one hell of a first car... lol should be a great running truck.

Love that style of truck - My dad had a couple back in the day but no short boxes. :( - Keep ub the good work and keep the pics coming.

[cbpldc]

That will be an interesting beast. Should handle well with proper setup.

HP Tuners can now disable PATS... so you could use the stock ECU to control the 6r80

[DrFraZZy]

Subscribing... Keep posting up the pictures! I have a 1994 f150 lightning.. I want to do this to. I need to find a reliable shop in Maryland that knows what they are doing with IFS crown Victoria swap and how to wire up coyote engine into my truck.

What does it take to get coyote to fit in the CV IFS?

[Crestronwizard]

I'll know soon :). Looks like if we use the mounts off a 2011-2014 5.0 F-150 then it will bolt up. The Mustang mounts are too wide.

Hmm... I never thought about doing something like to my current truck. I've got a pretty minty 82k mile 90 F-150 that I rebuilt the 351 in. I'll be watching closely!

[Decurion]

I like it! Ive been daydreaming for some time now about a 79 super cab 2wd with a 5.0/6r80 swap. Seems like a low mile truck take-out engine and trans with harness and everything goes for around $6k or so on ebay, which isnt bad for a pretty complete setup. Unfortunately I have way too much going on to do it, so Ill enjoy living vicariously thru you. =D

Thanks :). This one has been interesting so far. The Independent Rear stuff arrived today so that's next. I have to figure out the brakes and which A/C unit to run.

[Crestronwizard]

Test fitting the engine and trans

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[DrFraZZy]

Who one step closer! So it fit like a glove? with the truck engine mount? versus the coyote engine mount one.

[Crestronwizard]

The truck mounts ended up not working. Used 4.6 mounts. Modifying a 4.6 oil pan to fit. I'll post pics of that once completed.

[chunger]

Neat project.

Which year Crown Vic front ends fit - I think it might be something like '05 and up, right?

Is that kit you used to tie it onto the trucks frame rails or something you came up with?

This is out of a 06. Used the adapters from http://team321.com/truckirs/truckirs.html

[brawls43]

What did you end up doing for the rear lower control arm mount point? The kit doesn't show if it includes anything.

[Crestronwizard]

What did you end up doing for the rear lower control arm mount point? The kit doesn't show if it includes anything.

It comes with a plate that matches up with the plate on the end of the rear lower control arm. Those two pieces bolt together. Then it gets welded. We still had to box it in ourselves as it does not fit flush with the frame.

[Crestronwizard]

The factory 5.0 pan doesn't fit so we got a 4.6 pan and added the necessary bolt holes in the front. Other than those missing, the pan is a perfect fit.

Yes. I'll let you know around Tuesday :)

[I_make_oil]

Test fitting the engine and trans

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif


The engine looks pretty low in this picture. Would it have caused any problems to have mounted it higher to better clear the frame rails? It's looks like it will be tight to change the alternator and fit the exhaust.

[Crestronwizard]

Good clearance for the alternator and the exhaust is good now, had to make a little room on the passenger side for the exhaust but that was only because we had boxed the frame. Funny thing is, after doing the mustang I haven't even thought anything was tight on this :).

[I_make_oil]

Lol I hear that. That engine bay is huge. You should have plenty of room in there.

Man you've got some lucky sons! Great work.

[Dave R]

Did the front end kit come with plans? I'm basically wondering because I've seen the install many times in different ways with trucks but no driving results after. The angle's I've seen people put them in at vary and I'd surely expect that would mess with the alignment and driving characteristics. 321 has done well with the rear setup as I've seen that in a few trucks. I just got rid of two IRS's from MkVIII's after deciding not to go that route but whish I would have kept one at least. Did you have to put the truck at ride stance and adjust the front end for angles or did they do that based on your wants for the stance?

The truck looks great and I love the motive. I'm working with my 11 year old now to build something for him and he's pumped. It's good to get them off the games and in the fields and garage. Kudo's to you.

Dave

[Crestronwizard]

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

The kit is just for being able to bolt in the Crown Vic front. Altering the stance would come from different spindles or springs. Measure twice, cut once.

A lot of parts have arrived. Hoping to make a lot of headway this week. Deadline is Christmas.

[nastyn8]

Love the project, I will be very interested in what the rear wheel fitment can be, how wide a tire will fit with the IRS?

I love the color on it already. What are your plans with paint? I hope ur leaving it patina?? It already looks cool the way it is! I know with the right wheels.. You will be breaking necks! LOL

[brawls43]

^^ I agree with DrFaZZy, would look great with the patina! Plenty of room out back for some big wheels/tires. I love how that engine fits.

[Tincup]

Nice Job...where did you get that tank?

[Crestronwizard]

Got the tank off Summit

Plans are currently to paint it but I have considered leaving it alone as(big surprise) have ran over budget.

This would look even more awesome with a subtle 2-3 top chop. As far as the proportions go, the roof height seems a little off.
Love you work. Are you looking to adopt another "kid?" lol

Jay

[Crestronwizard]

We'll see what the stance looks like with the bigger wheels.

No more kids! 4 is plenty. Funny thing is I only had 2 when I started the mustang build, lol.

I'm anxious for the drive report. I've owned one of the Cougars that has the rear suspension. I'm aware of what a coyote can do. I don't know what all of it can do at one time. I spent a lot of time in 72 twin i beam trucks. Everything has to be an improvement. :)

[migg400]

This thing is going to be KILLER!! The Coyote looks right at "home" sitting in there! Good luck with the rest of the build.

[Crestronwizard]

Truck looks great. What white is that?

Good question. I said I wanted pure white, no pigment.

[Dr G]

interesting.

What 4 speed auto are you going with, how will it bolt up to the Coyote, and is there a reason beyond budget you're going with it instead of a 5 or 6 speed auto?

If you study the ratios of the 4R70W vs. the 6R60 or 6R80 you see that it adds a super-short first gear, and then one additional ratio (5th gear) which falls between the 4R70W's 3rd and 4th gears. So really it is a lot of work to add one usable ratio.

The 10R80, now that literally halves the distance between all your gears. That is worth waiting for.

On where you have the air cleaner at now, are you going to build something around the filter? I live in rural Louisiana where we still have some gravel roads so I was wondering about dust in the inter fender.

I love this build. I can't believe how clean you got the engine compartment to look. I mean the whole thing is sweet, but that engine compartment blows my mind. I guess it also doesn't hurt that(imho) these 70's fords are probably the best looking trucks ever made. Keep kicking butt.

[StarlinerJack]

wow this is a great looking truck! Very nice work!

Thanks! I am very happy with how that turned out as well. I ran out of room fast underhood of the mustang and it isn't as clean as I wanted. Little more room with this one.

Not a lot to show. Third brake light installed. Working on the interior over the next few days. Will post pics soon.

That is one CLEAN engine bay. You did an awesome job, especially considering how notoriously large the Coyotes are. Keep up the great work!

Bumpers on. Glass in

Again, this truck is AWESOME. with all of the retro styling coming out on newer vehicles, this is how Ford should bring back the ranger, or resurrect the f100 badge.

[nitroracer]

Did you make the grill or is that an aftermarket piece? I've never seen one with that pattern before. Truck is looking good!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

The grille inserts

[Bossed]

Love the truck. The only thing I might would change, would be the bumpers. Maybe chrome or satin silver. Great job !! :twothumbs

[JayinMI]

I agree with Bossed. Chrome bumper...at least in front. Maybe with shaved bolts. That would do it for me, and I'm not a Ford guy. lol
