Frame Swap

alright. I have a F100 and there is a possibility of swapping my cab/motor onto a F250 frame/running gear. This F250 is in the woods and had a truck dropped onto the cab. As far as i'm aware, the motor should bolt up, assuming it's a FE. My question is, with the narrower frame of the 250, will the cab/front clip bolt up? THANKS

it should, the frame width under the cab should be the same. its only behind the cab that differs.

I thought infront of the cab was different too.

oh, what about this. I have a pretty nice exhaust system bent up for my f100. i realize that being a shortbox the tails will need to be extended for a f250, but will the rest of the bends (particularly the headers and right from them) fit into an f250? thanks
