MAIDEN VOYAGE/F100 SUPER NATS!! CHEAP BUDGET F100 CROWN VIC SWAP!

Next project on the channel that is really exciting for us, 1959 Ford F100 Long bed and 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor chassis swap. In this video, we drive the farthest yet with 8 hour round trip to Pigeon Forge for the F100 Super Nationals. We clocked over 500 miles in the 3 day weekend, the P71 Police Interceptor chassis and suspension performed flawlessly through the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.

I was the blue 63 Unibody parked beside you at the F100 Takeover. Love your truck. It was great to see it and get to meet you.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Yessir! I enjoyed chatting with you! Hope to see you at the spring show!

[@randy6350]

Please do more videos as I like yours the best. Just like your laidback attitude about everything! I still think you need to have someone hand brush on your logo on the doors and find some older 17” Mustang OE “Mag” wheels. Remember Mag wheels hahaha…

Truck looks great !

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you!

[@williamguillIII]

Looks like you parked right beside Farmer and Sons. Super nice guy!

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Sure did! First time meeting him, super nice!

Shows are hard to record at. So much background noise and there’s always music. Gotta watch out for copyright strikes. Some real cool trucks there and that Mustang, oh my! 😍🔥👌🏼

[@BestDamnShopAround]

I was trying to stay away from the speakers but you're correct it's hard to avoid the background music and I definitely don't want a copyright strike!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid.............Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! It was nice to make a video where I didn't get filthy for a change haha

Thanks for keeping the build people friendly, its good to see every day people go through a build, gone through a lot of videos and honestly some people out there forget to keep it simple

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you for the kind words! One of my goals is to make the channel relatable and obtainable for the average Joe

[@markbergman7012]

Really enjoyed watching.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@redlinegw]

Just Awesome! Now will you do my 59 Plymouth Belvedere?

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you! Unfortunately not taking on any chassis swaps for customers at this time. Sorry!

[@simosimpson5189]

Your truck has the perfect stance. Great job

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you very much! I'm happy with how it turned out!

[@samdavis3813]

Love the vids and the truck!

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you!!

[@todddaniels9488]

Awesome video man. It is cool to see guys get out and put miles on their projects!! Agree on the highboy. Up next for me is a 67 swap onto a 78f100 4wd. Not a highboy, but it’s what I got. Look forward for what ever is up next for you!!

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Yessir, they're ment to be driven! That will be sweet! Bumpside 4x4 is such a good look!

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Your truck was the winner IMO.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

I appreciate that!!

[@chrissimes9445]

That row of Friges looked cool, but they all looked like they were on stilts compared to yours! If it's not 4wd, it needs to be low! But I agree with your choice, that '69 highboy was breathtaking. Too shiny for me to own, but I can damn sure appreciate it...

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Agreed, they were all about a foot to high for my taste! Believe me, I was stressed just standing next to the highboy but man was is beautiful! Thank you for watching!

[@sebastianhermeth2829]

Great build Questions: what was the real budget you have in it ( you had a bunch of material etc in your shop already i assume, what would that add up to?) Did you have to tune anything for the initial startup and did you narrow down the OEM harness at all?

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you! I'd say realistically out of pocket around $3,000. Also around 350 man hours haha But if you take into account the parts that I sold off of the crown Victoria as well as the unused parts I sold and scrapped from the F100 brought me back down to around 2000-2200. As far as the harness I just use the OEM crown Victoria and simply thinned it out and rerouted it. Because this car was a p71 police interceptor it did not have the anti-theft feature so no tuning required for startup.

[@sebastianhermeth2829]

@BestDamnShopAround great advise I didn't know the p71 interceptor doesn't have the anti theft. I'm not a ford guy but love and consider this body swap for a daily truck ;)

[@BestDamnShopAround]

@@sebastianhermeth2829 honestly I didn't know it myself, just disassembled everything and it worked. Looked it up afterwards and found out that's a thing! It's great for a daily driver, I put over a thousand miles on mine in the last month!

[@raidersperez1278]

What kind seats do you have? I saw in older video you said from an f250? If it’s not too much to ask for, may I get more info on that please?

My dad just bought a 67 ford f250 highboy from a junkyard for $250, it's gonna be a low budget build.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Wow! Great deal!!

So what’s the asking price on the truck?

It's not for sale just yet, want to enjoy it for a while first!
