1990 dash
Does anyone know if the dash out of a 1990 ford f250 will fit into a 1993 ford f250 I love the older style dash of the 90 but I have to swap to the new 93 cab because of the VIN # Or can I just replace the dash completely out of the 93 and put back into my 90 so that I don't have to swap cabs over

The VIN isn't ON the dash...It's on a metal tag, that's riveted to the cab...
The dash'es WILL interchange....
The only things different is:
The vent windows...The 1990 windows will hit the 1993 dash upon opening them....That's why the 1990 has a full triangle of a window, and the 1992+ models has the lower corner cut off....
And the Steering Column is a tad different between the 2 year models...Not really sure if that will affect the 1993 dash.....I wouldn't think so at least....
Here's the 92-96 vent windows, with the 1990 style dash..

Had to take a 2nd look, Its a PSOM(92+ speedo) installed in a 80 to 86 dash cluster. Need more info on that swap.

It's when you try to use a 1992-1996 dash, with 1987-1991 windows....
The 1992+ dash is thicker from front to back..

I'm thinking about using a 90 dash into a 93 cab. But... Is it possible for me to just take out the dash and swap the vin tags instead? I like the style of the older cab instead of the newer models

VIN tags are not on the dash, they're on the cowl. And, uh........ felony offense to alter VIN's !

Even if the 3rd owner down the road got pegged it would come back to you. 
Better I keep mentioning it than someone having to "lawyer-out-of-it". 
I would say "told ya so" too! 
LOL ! If those boys get a whiff of 'poo-on-your-shoe" ........ they're quite good at what they do. It's just too easy to do it right.

Ok well I probably shouldnt have that attitude towards it but it seemed easier than swapping cabs. Ok. On to swapping the dashboards Yay... Is there any warnings I should heed? Maybe a tricky bolt or of that sort

There's a tricky SOB overtop the Steering Column...
Best way to access it, is remove the 4 bolts, and drop the entire column down...About 2 minutes of work....
