Mine has serious rust in the torque box. It needs to be rebuilt. I set mine a Crown Victoria frame w/4.6L

The torque box has been re boxed as well as everything I cut out and the torque box has a raised section so the drive shaft will clear.

I have not done much to the bed at this point other than cutting it out where I had to it will get a full floor and side panels ect further down the road.

Also the truck was pretty rusty both steps were rotted out and the driver and passenger side floor where the body mounts mount were gone. Also the back floor seat mounts had to be fixed they were rusted out.pic is kinda crappy.

This is the motor mocked up it the block will be painted the color of the truck and a chrome oil pan.

Painted the block and stuck some stuff on it for fun waiting on some arp bolts and a new timing cover so I can get it all together.

Really dig these unibodies. A neighbor down the street where I grew up did one when he was 16, it had been his dad's work truck for years.

This one is looking good, you are doing a great job!
