7.3 vs V10 Cabs
Alright so this is my second thread and hoping to get just as much help as on the first. So as of right now I have pulled a tree smashed cab off a 7.3 diesel. We are going to take the cab off a blown V10 truck and switch it over. Question is what differances should I look out for and which harnesses HAVE to be switched and can any of them stay? Also the cab we are using is Automatic so I now have to modifie it for manuel trans so not happy. Thanks for any help, tips, or tricks.

i think all of the harnesses have to go
i have read that the hump in the floor is lower on a auto and you may have to cut the floor out and weld in the old one.
i will find the link of where a guy put a zf6 in hie truck that had an auto.

Ya I figured I would have to change out the dash harness and what not but the Diesel Cab harness and the Gas cab harness look EXACTLY the same so anyone think the wires are same? Ford smart enough to do something like that?

I told my boss he was F**king retarded for taking this job to begin with but he says work is work which is bull cause I know he aint making enough money on this job to justify the hours he has to pay me and the time it holds up our lift and not to mention all the towing to move these *******s around. FML!!! Well I'll keep on keepin on and let you know how it goes.

Is there any chance you would have a left over grey crew cab carpet from an automatic transmission truck in excelllent condition when all is said and done? I have a grey manual transmission carpet from a crew cab in excellent condition if you would like to trade. You can PM me.
