Summary¶

Fitment & compatibility¶
- Donor frames: 2005–2007 Ford SuperDuty frames (F-250/350/450)
- Body: 1973–1979 Ford trucks ("dentside" body style)
- Notes: The kit addresses body mounting geometry; driveline, exhaust, fuel tank, and cab-floor mods may still be required.
Installation & swap notes¶
- Body mount heights: Ensure cab ride height and floor relationship are checked before final welding/bolting.
- Steering geometry: Verify column coupling and intermediate shaft alignment to avoid binding and minimize vibration. Munts kit may include a column adapter—confirm.
- Brake lines & fuel lines: Plan routing for fuel tank and brake lines; modern frames may differ in routing and clearance.
- Exhaust / crossmember interference: Test-fit before final assembly; muffler and pipe routing may need customizing.
- Safety / compliance: Confirm local regulations for frame/body swaps and any required inspections.
Why this kit is useful¶
- Saves hours of fabrication by providing engineered mounting points.
- Retains modern frame benefits (brake, steering, suspension) under classic body aesthetics.
- Designed by a vendor experienced in these conversions.
