This is the proper way to add modern front suspension on these trucks. I say that because a friend is hacking his up now to put a camaro subfram under it. I've watched these swaps and I'm baffled why you would want a weakened frame under your truck. I found two rolling frames for under 1000.00 dollars for him. This swap adds modern front and rear suspension with much stronger , easier frame shortening.
I'm wondering why when all the C10 guys replace their frames with Crown Vic frames that you would use a C10 frame instead of a Crown Vic? If u were trying to get a better IFS than the C10 seems like a bad choice as it's typically replaced. I guess the bright spot being the C10 chassis should be cheap?
My original plan was to pull a small travel trailer with it so I did not want a car chassis. The C10’s are very cheap and parts are available everywhere. Aftermarket support is also endless for brakes and suspension options.
@@wallysworkin823what is the price of the kit, roughly? I'm debating on tackling this project. Now that I see you can either use an overhead gantry with a chain falls setup or a cherry picker to move the cab and box around (different video), it really got me interested. The kit would make the process smoother. I have buddies with cnc plasma cutting beds, and cnc programming skills, but would be an extra hassle.
@@jakefriesenjake I When I bought it a couple years ago It was right at or a little over $1000. The gantry is a life saver, found it used for a few hundred dollars.
@@wallysworkin823 nice. Thanks for the reply. Now I must get my wife on board with this project 😂😂 She says that she doesn't want to roll around in an old krusty milk truck. Ha ha ha ha. I guess she doesn't have a fine taste in trucks.
You the man. I bought same kit for my 57 to a 79 4x4 half ton. Im happy I found this.
Yo man….would love to see that 4x4!
We're can you buy this kit I need one for my 4x4
Thx 4 sharing, looks like a class 1A mounting kit Sir Walter.
I’ve done the same for my 59 Apache. Ed is a wonderful man, helpful, and has excellent customer skills!

Seems like a lot of money for a C10 chassis that they throw away and replace with a Crown Vic. A C10 doesn't really have a very good IFS.
Great mounts 😊
Yes they are!
Your are.dewing it a good.job
Just move the axle forward 3 inches! I’ve already done this!

His truck not mine and he does like a project.

What would you recommend for my Chevy 3100 5window chassis swap to have 4x4 every day driver pull utility trailer, thank you for your time.
If it’s a 55-59 I would go with a square body chevy like I did or a 2000 up Tahoe is popular to. E-z Chassis swap has kits for both.
Where do you get the body mount brackets ?? And components
E-Z Chassis Swap.com
That kit saved a lot of time for mounting the cab, great job, where is the kit available?

Hello, I am with the same project, I live in Argentina, where could I order that kit?
Ebay? Amazon?
The kit comes from E-Z Chassis Swap.com
How much was it?
At the time, over a year ago the kit was $1100 if I remember correctly
Waste ot time and materials.
