I wish I had a lift that's the way I would do it but I don't have one. So I'll figure it out. I just wanted to be sure the fenders could hold the weight of the font clip and the extra weight won't bent the roof when I lift it off. As for the speed sensor I'll figure something out. Thanks for the help.

What ever you do, don't lift with anything rigid like chain or cable, it will bend the cab roof line. A lift strap is pretty much the only option. However, I have heard of using 4x4's to lift by, but seems a little risky to me, but there are ways to reduce possibility of slippage. Definitely have the doors off though, as they will likely be damaged if left in place.

Tow straps aren't rated for vertical lifting. If you could get an actual lift strap, you could possibly use the looped ends to go around the 4x4, then lift at the center.I have used regular lift straps but not the 4x4, but also have not tried putting the cab on anything... The clip was off as well. Seems most times, I tear them down, rather than go back together.

are the 93 clutch pedals the same as the 95? I found a 93 clutch pedal on ebay but not sure it will fit my 95 cab.

Just to be sure F250's everywhere!
80-86 is a direct swap, no modifications
87-91 bolts on as do the doors, but you will need to modify the cab to accept your dash or modify the harness if you pan on using the newer dash.

260 is a typo correct? There was no 260.
All the regular cabs will swap and bolt on from 80 thru-96. The frame has to be a regular cab frame though, a super cab needs a super cab frame.
Also Ford never put a 351 cleveland into a truck except in Australia. You probably will be getting a 351m. Not the greatest engine Ford ever produced, but if it runs ok.

Yes. There is a minor difference somewhere, I want to say the vent window area, but they still fit. Other minor differences may be the door panels and such. But they fit the hole and operate like they should.

The cab of a cab/chassis (D) is the same/swappable as that of a pickup (T), correct? If so, for 80-96 also?
Edit: Yep, I did just gloss over it on page 3. Sorry. fellro86 confirmed that they are. Thanks
