But I really don't see the point of the CV swap if you already have an IFS 2wd truck.
I was thinking the same thing. If all you want is R&P steering, adapt it in from a newer Dodge truck. The 5.25 bolt pattern is easy to accomplish, if that's another reason.

I have never done this and have no personal knowledge of anyone that has done it. OK, that's out of the way. IF (and I say IF) the 72-93 D150 is 28" outside to outside on the front frame rails, there is a narrowed Crown Vic cross member available with a steering rack: http://ritcheytrucksuspension.com/products/crown-vic-ifs-2003-2011-cross-member-narrow-4-34-inchesStock Crown Vic cross member is about 35.5" between the shock towers. Take out 4 3\4" brings it down to around 30". That might work for you. Greg
