Hi Fellas I need some info and I hope someone can help me.
I might have found a rust free body for my 95 f350 but......the body is off of a 95 F150 2wd auto, mine is a 95 F 350 4x4 5 speed, I am worried about the floor pans in the cab because of mine being a 5 speed will they swap?? I am hoping to do a kick *** restore of a truly awesome vintage of these not quite classic ....YET.. ford trucks. Gotta love them 350s with the solid front axle!!!!!!!
Thanks for any input you guys can give me

 

It will be a direct bolt in swap.

Just keep your floor hump out of your truck to swap to the new cab (bolted in)

And the 4x4 shifter, you'll just have to cut the floor, the shape is already there stamped in the floor, just the matter of cutting it through.

 

You are going to have to cut a big hole in the middle of your trans hump for the manual trans version which has a bolt-on cover. The floor is stamped for that as well, cut it out with a jig saw and then put the cover from the manual truck on your hump and drill the holes needed to bolt it down.

 

Thanks Guys great info!

 

How big a deal is it really ....to swap bodys I have no Idea??????

 

I would say yes, it is a big deal. Look under the dash at all of the wiring harnesses, cables, vacuum lines, a/c & heater, every bit of that is going to have to come out of your truck & go into donor cab. Then look at the exterior, the doors, fenders, hood, brake booster, a/c, etc., is going to have come off your & go onto donor. It's alot of work but if the donor is cheap enough it could be worth it.
A neighbor took a totaled F150(pass side door & bed impact) found a donor cab, bed, doors & made it into a good looking truck. He painted everything apart & then carefully assembled the truck piece by piece. It turned out very well. He didn't even have to discharge a/c system.
Plan on spending a solid month(working part time)to complete project. If you are careful with wiring harness, vac. lines, etc., it would only cost you paint & body supplies & your labor, if you can paint.
