I have a 68 f100 long bed. I'm looking to swap out the front and rear suspension. I bought a 04 cv/ifs and am looking on getting a t-bird/irs I want disk brakes so I'm not sure which year that would be?..or if the mark VIII would be a better choice? I have the 360 FE with a C-6 automatic I plan on keeping that for now... question is can somebody help me out with a parts list so I can get all parts befor hand. Ex. I dnt mind keeping or changing the 5x4.5 bolt pattern..but not sure what size tires to run? I'm buying team321/irs mounting kit..I also plan on making my truck a shirt bed.. any suggestions on what should be done first? I plan on stripping the truck down would like all the parts I need to put back together any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.68 f100 IRS swap

Welcome aboard from Gerber, Ca.
If you haven't already done so, you may want to post in the suspension section. I am sure you will get some great advice from others who have been there and done that.

May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.
