I like the bracing idea oh, I think I would add an x-brace to it . Not so sure about the hockey puck thing

I'm not impressed with the hockey pucks, either. [S Frame flex is obviously the real issue and I would address it as you said.

I don't like the hockey puck idea either, I thought the most informative part of the episode was when they show you how much flex there is.

yeah, definitely more than expected. I have seen a lot of these swaps done and no one has sad a word about this

The F100 frames were built to handle bed load. You put a big motor in a stock frame and raise the front at the strip, it'll flex - a lot. I used to have a pic of one local. They then boxed the frame - that helped, but I think they still had some issues. Farmers didn't even like the unibody style because the body cracked under regular farm use.

The hockey pucks are an old Ford guy trick to use as cab/frame isolators. Got used a lot before the mount rubbers were reproduced.

that 65 I did was horrible until I boxed it. I have seen hockey pucks used for body mounts. I just think there are better ways to stiffen the frame besides bolting the cab to the box. we will see

Not sure about this ugliness

Why would somebody do this to an otherwise rare double nickel Ford delivery?

At least it's just the front fenders.
Looks like a hold over from the Boyd Coddington era.
JMHO.

It takes a pile of work and money to look that bad.

[Old Iron]

Just a bad idea that someone went ahead and executed.
