My 1955 Ford F100 Gets a Mustang II Suspension and Steering

Published at : 12 Dec 2025

Thanks to Restomod Supply for supporting the build, the setup I got was the Weld-On Mustang II Front End Kit (with power steering and coilovers): https://restomodsupply.com/weld-on-mustang-ii-front-end-kit-1953-1956-ford-f100/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=mustangifskit&utm_medium=referral

In this episode I cut the entire front end suspension, axle, and steering out of the rescued 1955 Ford F100 truck and weld in a Mustang II front crossmember. I also finish the last step of my 8.8 rear axle swap with a modification to the leaf spring mounting plates.
