Hey everyone. I picked up the vehicle 6 months ago and have decided it's too much of a project for me and would like to find some help. The truck is completely stripped and blasted. The suspension has been set up with a notched rear and crown vic clip in front. I'm looking for a business or individual in san diego that can help restore/build it to run. Not looking for show quality, would like a nice daily driver. Any recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated.

Wish you were closer, looks like a really decent start. Id suggest boxing the frame where that Vic front is mounted and maybe a couple more mounting tabs. Probably fine, but overkill never hurt.
I guess I dont have pics in my albums here of mine. I welded 4 nuts in the frame, 2 bolts from below on both sides. Then boxed it up, and 2 ears on each side from the Upper a arm mount over to the frame. Similar to that factory ear thing yours has, but no super long bolts, and no stack-o-washers holding it off the frame to height. join the 61-66 ford group on here and theres a couple builds with nice photos of the mount. Some will trash talk that setup, but for the money its a hard one to beat.
