I don't think that the 94-up chassis are very compatible, but I get your point, and it's well worth considering. If I weren't doing a 3/4 ton, I'd be doing the Crown Vic swap as well. I considered the Dakota frame, but I think that the track was too narrow in the end. I can't recall now. I've given thought to doing a frame graft of the 93 front, but I'm not sure that my fab skills are up to that kind of challenge yet. Too easy to get something wrong and forever have drivability issues IMHO. I'd likely have to pay a good fab shop to do it, which negates the low buck aspect of it.

Food for thought. And I have plenty of time at work to over-think the snot out of it. LOL! Thanks Soop!
