Did anyone see the Fast and Loud episode where they put a rack and pinion front end assembly under a 1969 F-100 truck? It is supposed to be a direct bolt in with very minor modification.
My guess is that it is from a Crown Vic. I've asked around with no help on this issue.
I posted this here and in the full size truck section.. hoping it might trigger someones memory.

Thanks

Yep a crown Vic.
frame width is exactly the same. the truck frame is not as tall as the vic frame, so a spacer needs to be made to go between the top of the frame and the bottom of the upper mount. Bolts on with just 2 big bolts per side.

Civilian Crown Vics ceased production in 2009. P71 Police Interceptor Crown Vics ceased production in 2011. So, the year models needed for this conversion would be 2003-2009 civilian CV or 2003-2011 P71 PI Crown Vic. Additionally, the Mercury Grand Marquis, Mercury Marauders and Lincoln Town Cars of the same vintage also have the exact same front suspension assemblies.

This is a very common mod for older F100 and F150 pick-ups. Visit any of the forum sites, for the older F Series, and you should find quite a few threads on the subject. Sounds pretty easy with a little common sense and moderate mechanical knowledge.

WTF happened to Fast n Loud? Gone from building moderately interesting vehicles to some sort of MST3K abortion. Watching videos from the internets??

I gave up watching after RR started the restaurant and doing (joke) Dodge commercials. I get that it's all about the $$$ but they don't even do cool stuff anymore. Would love to have that late 60s (or early 70s) F100 SWB p-up.
