Correct me please... 150, 250, 350 cabs are all the same cab right? Changing a cab won't change the truck from a 350 to a 250.

Do you still have the F250 cab and vin?

I still have the 250 cab and vin, they are still on the truck as I drive it around, and the FSuperduty cabs are hard to come buy. Im not swapping vins though because it is a felony if you get pulled over and caught, and I know a lot of cops who are cracking down on older vehicles, easy tickets.

My current cab has floorboards made of 2x4 and great stuff, and not just swapping the vin plates from cab to cab. As for the other vins they arent readily accessible to check.

You are essentially doing the same thing by swapping the cab.

the best route to go would be to use the 90 f150 cab, and reuse your F250 vin and have the door jam sticker remade.

If a cop were to run the vin on the 1980 F350 vin and they know anything(like your cops friends sound like they do) It will raise flags right away when they see a cab-n-chassis F350 vin with a single rear wheel and a pickup bed
