Yes if they are both the same body style. The 1997 Light Duty F-250 is an entirely different truck than the HD version.

The 1997 is HD, so I understand then that a cab swap won't work and I'd have to find a HD model? What years HD model would work?
Thanks

As mentioned in the other thread your truck is physically the same as the earlier F series trucks, with respect to body parts specifically they are the same for all F series trucks so you could even use a '94-96 F150 cab, but there would be wiring differences with the '96 since that year saw the introduction of OBD2 in the 1/2 ton.

You have that backwards. The ‘97 Light Duty F-250 looks like a ‘97 F-150. Does your truck look like this?
