Would there be any major issues putting a 74'-79' Super Cab on a F250/350 92'-96' frame?

I don't mean as in a bolt on swap, I know know the early frames are narrower than the later frames. But outboard body mounts to take care of that. It will be a down to bare frame build with D60 SAS, shackle reversal, SD springs, 300 6, NP435, NP205, flatbed build.

Here on Big Island choices are pretty limited. A clean 92'-96' F250 SC frame is not a problem to get. But to find a 74'-79' SC truck with decent frame and cab is difficult to find and expensive if found.
But front clip & doors from Broncos not to difficult to find.

So might be able to find an early SC cab to work with.

Not concerned about electrical stuff, can work with that. It will have very little electric in cab.

I know there will be some fab work, but wanted to make sure there isn't something major the would make it not realistically doable, before I find an early SC cab and start working on it. :-)

I can use a later style cab if for some reason this isn't feasible for some reason. But would really like to build it with early body.

You need to make up your mind.

Every week you keep coming up with a different cab, frame, year, etc combination

 

Lol Yes I knew that was coming, fair point tho. :-)
I really and truly jumped around as to what I would like to do, but it's been a learning process.

When I started researching and learning about about the F series and possible combinations of a building one, things evolved as far as what I can do and want to end up with.

This is what I have decided on so far for the build:

Rebuilt 300 6, twin carbs, NP435, NP205 with twin sticks, 92'-96' F250/350 Super Cab frame (full length, not shorted) D60 SAS, SD springs, shackle reversal, rear shackle flip, 37"-38" tires, 4.56 gears, Sterling 10.25" rear with disc conversion, TSM NP205 parking brake, flatbed with built on sides, canvas bed cover with hoops extending about 10" higher than cab.

Keeping the lift as low as possible to just fit tires into front wheel wells with a bit of trimming. Will figure out lift needed when cab & fenders are mounted to frame, measure actual flex and determine lift and trimming needed.

If A, the early SC can be used and B, I can find one in reasonable enough condition I'll go with an early Super Cab, if not then will go with a 7th gen Super Cab.

I appreciate all the help and information everyone has given here during my figuring and designing everything out. I've looked at this build as a whole, not taking a truck and just modifying it. Everything is designed or combined to make a well balanced vehicle.
