camperspecial65, PM sent check your box

 

So if I am understanding you correctley. The cab that I would be looking for would be from another four wheel drive or 1 ton in the years 64-66. Nothing bigger than a 1 ton.

 

Or a 61-4 2 or 4WD....if you want the identical cab, then you want the one with the ribs which I believe to be 64-66 1 ton or F250 4WD or 65 F100 4WD...

Hey Buzz, probably won't help but I've got a 65 F100 4X2 Cab that you can have if you need to cut metal out of it. It does have a good roof. The lower part (torque box) is shot.

 

How are the kick panel areas jhooch ???

There is a little rust at the bottom, might be just on the floor section though. The panels themselves may be ok.

 

Hey hooch thanks for the offer the cab roof however is in great shape on mine. Floor pan and cab steps inside the door is where my rust issues are. Not bad though when you see what they have to deal with in the east. If a cleaner cab can be found then I would be for just swapping out. If not I will repair what I have. Thanks again. Hope things are moving along well on all your projects you got a garage full.

 

So cs65 you are saying no F series bigger than a 1 ton will do? In the years 64-66. I know I can stick an earlier yr cab on there but I am looking for a direct replacement. Is it a frame width issue on trucks bigger than 1 ton? Im unsure as you just dont see that many of them being parted around here.

 

The only cab that will be an EXACT unit will be a 65 F100 or F250 4x4 or a 65 F350 You may also use a 66 F250 4x4 or a F350. These cabs will have the correct passenger side pull and drivers side triangular vent and battery box on the floor.

The larger F450s and up along with the B and T series will need to be looked at as they could be modified. I cannot verify what will drop on as i have not taken any apart to see. Largest i had was a F1100 Coal delivery truck and nothing in between.

One question i will ask? Are you **** on just what you need or are you willing to modify?

I have a nice 64 cab here in the yard currently for sale.

Well Garbz since you asked. I dont consider myself ****. And I suppose there are alot of hobbiest out here who dont consider theirselves **** either. Just because they would like to restore a vehical as close to possible as the way it came off of the assembly line. I dont consider what you do to a vehical as butchering. Im sure what you do passes all vehical saftey inspections before it is let onto the roads. That being said I dont have an interest in your 64 cab. Thanks anyway.

 

[QUOTE=Buzz44;10406115]Then you can use any 61 to 66 step type cab. Only rentitive persons like me would point out the wrong roofline if an early cab is used or the incorrect kick panel...LOL..Some persons just have to have the EXACt right and correct things.

The regular cab is easily modified for your use. A cut out for the battery (pattern is all ready there) open up the floor if it is a low unit and some kick panel mods will be all that is needed. The Heater box (four bolt vs three) in your cab will also be different than a standard cab due to the vent and fresh air inlet (it is a mix and match of 65 and 64 parts). Again only someone like me would point it out and bust your stones about it.

It makes your search more generic and a whole lot easier.

Ok Garbz thanks for the input. Ill do a little more investigating and put this one to bed for now. Good luck on that project you have going there. Sometimes the obvious is so obvious its right in front of you and you cant see it.
