Cab swap

I'm thinking about getting a different cab for my 88 f250 and I found a cab off of a 94. I want to keep my original interior so I want to know if the dash and everything will fit without customizing anything? Also will everything on the fire wall line up on the newer cab?

You are SOL. the dash mounting points are different, the holes for the wiring harness is different, the steering column mount is different, the holes for the ECM are different. along with a bunch of other differences

So NO, they are NOT the same

Ok thanks but that sucks I don't get why they would make the outside the same and the inside different

Outside stayed the same from 80-97. Kept production costs down.

Interior changed to give updated look and harnesses are different for OBD1 and OBD2, steering column mount is a better improved design , along with all the other differences
