Explorer Chassis Swap?! 1957 Ford F-100 Mockup & Reality Check

We’re back on the 1957 Ford F-100 Explorer chassis swap — and yeah, we’re really doing this.

This episode is all about mockup, wiring cleanup, ride height, and figuring out whether the 2008 Explorer might actually be a better donor than the Crown Vic for future chassis swaps. Firewall clearance, axle height, steering, brakes, and the realities nobody talks about when you drag a full modern chassis under a classic truck.

Nothing is permanent yet. This is real-world fitment, real measurements, real concerns — including the plastic fuel tank problem that might force a rethink.

If you’re into chassis swaps, fabrication, or you’re tired of seeing the same Crown Vic builds over and over, this one’s for you.
