Cab swap question
Had a California parts truck show up on fb near me,(mn) thats really clean , cab,doors, fenders. It's 99 2wd super cab with a 5.4. I have an 02 4x4 7.3. Are these cabs the same? I thought I read some where that there was a change in the 02 or so that one of the harnesses ran across the cab floor in a groove as opposed to a different location.

Yeah, there's some differences, but I don't know exactly which ones you need to watch for. Just trying to make a gasser cab work for a diesel would give me some pause for reflection, LOL.

UGH. This and who know what else is different is more work than I would want to take on.

It's not that bad really, a little careful cutting on the firewall, some welding....heck you could probably overlay it, some seam sealer and pop rivets...good to go.
It's also a great time to sound insulate the firewall.

I was thinking pretty much would have to completely gut each and transfer over all wiring.. not real sure if id want to tackle it as it is but if there's a bunch of other modifications to do also...I dunno. Just looks pretty tempting with all the body parts being good shape and matching color.
