Question 72 cab onto 76 chassis

Hey guys I've got a 76 F100 SWB its very rusty but I've found a 72 rust free cab.
My questions are can it fit
1. On the 76 chassis
2. With the current 76 doors guards bonnet etc
3. If I was to get hold of 72 doors and guards will the 76 bonnet and grille still fit
4. As it's a bare cab will the front and rear glass fit
5. Will the steering column fit

Or am I better off finding another 76 or similar cab any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Mick

A 1972 would be a bumpside truck, the door contours would be very diff from a dentside. Most of the things you mentioned will not easily interchange besides possibly the steering column

Welcome to fte..

That is correct that it is a different body style, considering it is only a bare cab I say you are much better off finding a matching model..
