I'm pretty sure the frame width would require reworking the cab corners. There's a built where a member used a newer F150 and it's frame didn't fit at the cab corners.

I love the idea of the upgraded suspension but am really torn between just building with a mustang II suspension and tri link in the back so that i have more options to change things in the future. From what I have read the cv swap limits options on ride height and wheel and tire options. Have a 429 that is the ultimate goal for engine but just to make it a driver I already have the donor car so why not
