Will this cab fit?

I found a cab from what I think is a 77 f-100 in a barn at my friend's house. My question is, will it fit (without much effort) on my 77 f-150?

Oh, and if it isn't from an f-100...How well would late 70's model cabs fit as well?

Thanks in advance.

Should be The same. F150 to F100 Is just in the suspension not the Body. As far as I know the Cabs from 73 to 79 are all the same.

The cab should fit no matter what year it is from between 73' 77. (I have no experience with 78-79) Where you run into swapping problems is in the beds 2 wheel vs 4wheel. At least the 2 times I swapped cabs I had no problem and I swapped once from a 2wheel drive cab to a 4wheel drive frame with no probs. The other was 4x to 4x

What kind of trouble do you run into with swaping the bed from 2 wheel to 4 wheel?

That's what I was wondering too. I just did it on Sunday and didn't run into any problems.....

77-earlier 3/4 ton 4x4 have 34" frame. 77 1/2-later 3/4 ton 4x4, most 2wd have 38" frame.
