Anyone know what would be involved in lowering front end on a 1980 Ford F100.Can it be done and how much work involved.(Without subframing)Thanks.

If it was me, I'd look for some after market dropped spindles. With the dual I Beam type suspension, you would run into camber problems if you drop it any other way.
