Will a 1980 F250 dash bolt into a 1988 F250 cab without modification?

Nope, they mount differently to firewall and steering column between years. Can be done but going to take some fab work making new mounts up.
80 to 86 years
97 to 91 years
92 to 96.5 years are the plug and play ranges for dash swaps
