I'd say first replace every body mount you can and even add a few if you can then tilt or cold bend the nose tuck or wedge the rear and weld it and get it in the air and you have a good built ford

these cars are great, these are the cars that are taking over the limited weld shows around here and keeping up with the old iron, definately tuff cars even untilted altho in my opinion they do need to be tucked and notched or you'll end up with it whale tailing

def need to notch or even dimple. tuck or wedge and crease the body lines and all the doors and she will be very strong.

One thing that shouls always be checked on these cars is the crush box's. Even if they look good they can sometimes be full of rust on the inside.

A tuck seems to be the way to go with these cars, unless you can leaf or plate humps

putting the trunk lids in unpside down inside the truck works out really well acts like wedgeing i think if your not aloud in a way
