F350 and up cab used the earlier cab design. If you open the door and see an obvious step there it will or should work. If no step or slight step refer to Jowilkers advice. The roof line may differ on a 66 also. The 61-63 used a flatter roofline with no relief indents. If you dont mind that the floor is the more critical of the two differences.

1961/62 F100/600: C1TZ-8111135-M
1961/66 F800/1100: C1TZ-8111135-U
1966 F800/1100's also have a taller roof (C6TZ-8150202-A) than 1961/63's (C1TB-8150202-B) and 1964/65's (C4TZ-8150202-A).

Thanks Bill & welcome back. It did not re-read the same way that I read it the first time. I guess my coffee hadn't kicked in.

The F800 cab may have what is called the high roof about six inches higher than a normal roof line. It may also have cab mount extensions to allow it to bolt to the F800 frame mounts.
The F350 will be a direct replacement with one exception. You will need to use the 65 66 heater box that came with those year cabs and the fresh air duct. Earlier cabs have the pull type door on the passenger side where as the 65 66 has a triangular manual door and a square to round fresh air duct if equipped.

The cab search is going on in the kansas city area. My friend is trying to build a 62 f-100 short flairside with a gasser look,while staying usefull. Thanks,i'll pass on the Arizona cab info, he's crazy enough, who know's?
I am without anything older than my 91 f-250 460 efi. Itching to get back in it if I can find the right truck.
Bye for now, Jack in KC.
