So my parts truck is gone to the dump, saved all the good stuff off of it, all body panels, but what I really needed was the cab and it was abit to far gone to use for a restoration project.

I could of fixed it up, but it wouldn't have been "restoration quality".


I've noticed 1980's-90's F700 trucks have same cabs as the light duty F-series.

I saw an 83 F700 and they have the exact same interior as any other 80-86 model F-series, just different steering wheel/pedals and shifter.


Anyway, would a F700 bolt onto an F250 frame like any other cab?
I'm just trying to open more doors for finding cabs.

I guess the big challenge in those would be finding one with no extra holes made in the floor for other sticks. Or I'd have to weld a patch on it.

 

orepcreaming got a x cab give give u for 75 bucks u can but it on ur idi frame and cut the bet to 6 feat

 

I wanna keep my regular cab long box.

 

a rust free x cab for 75 bucks dude i thinks thats worth makeing it a 6 foot bed

 

I'm no fan of Super cabs.

Especially not if it means reducing the leight of my box!

8 foot isn't long enough some times!

 

yes the cab will work, but modifications will need to be made to it.
the openings on the firewall for the steering column and the clutch rod are in different places on the larger trucks.

 

I'm thinking the cab may have been the same, but the floor was different....I can't recall a tranny hump in the bigger trucks, usually the cab is high enough that the floor is flat. That would also explain the difference in teh clutch and steering being different
