There's a company making F-150 SuperCab Flaresides with the Navigator front end on them....does anyone have the foggiest on what it takes to mold this front end on? I dont think any mods are required on the doors...but I dont know if it will break the bank trying to put one on mine.....

Just wondering

TIA

K&N Filter, that I think makes a heck of a difference on this motor.

you have either been seeing Lincoln's Blackwood (which is supposed to have a fleetside bed) or someone else had the same idea as James Haines. In the Jan 99 issue of Truckin' James had rear-ended a UPS van with his 97 F150 SC flareside and replaced the front clip with that of the Navigator (which he ordered from the dealership). All the article says was that "over the next couple of weeks it was molded to perfection." It doesn't say if he did it himself or if the dealership did it or some custom shop did. In the latest issue for Truckin' there is an ad for KMC wheels with a black F150 flareside with the Navigator front clip.

 

Pony,
there is A company in LA that is making thisconversion, complete with rear license plate and reverse light assy in the tailgate, and they are calling it the meridian (see Motor Trend) sept or oct

The navigator front end is a bolt on job, No fabrication from what I have seen, heard and read.

If you check out the Texas Gathering via the main page, about the 5th or 6th picture is of a F150 with what appears to be a Navigator front clip. I think it really goes well together. If the Expedition & F150 use the same sheetmetal, and the Navigator and Expedition are the same, I think you could darn near bolt it on.


It's a beautiful vehicle
