Is it a front end swap, or are you using the full crown vic frame? Does it fit right on pretty good?

You may want to measure the width with tires of that CV rear before you decide to change out the axle you have.

The 03 up CV rear is wider. There are fitment issues with the narrower slick 64 to 66 bed.
