cab swap

Will the cab from a 1969 f100 long bed fit a 1969 f100 short bed? I know the beds will not interchange , but will the cabs. Thanks

joshua1975 Welcome to and the Bumpside Forum.

As Jeff noted makes no difference in the trailing bed but the 67-72 trucks share the raised ridge known as Bumpside and will swap.

Don't know why you are wanting make the swap, but want to offer a tip. if you pull the cab & front clip together (front fenders) including doors you can save a lot of time and aggravation with re-alignment. There are 6 mount points to the chassis, 4 under the cab and 2 under the radiator support. You can lift the sheet metal and roll the chassis out or lift it with a machine like a backhoe.

Something to chew on.
