Cab Swap
ok guy got a question about swapping a gas engine cab into my 95 psd. i am buying a 93 f-150 for body parts to repair michigan rust and i am planning on swapping cabs. i know the transmission hump is different. so is it just a cut out in the floor then taller pan screwed down? the whole interior is being swapped over any way. Does anybody have any experience with the differences in the floor pan?
thanks

i cant remember without looking if the pans are screwed down or if it is a prt of the cab. cant be to hard either way. you may have to cut and weld your old onto new cab or it cut be as easy as undoing a few screws on each and swapping em out. sorry i couldnt be of more help.
are you going to undercoat this new cab?

I know that when I swapped a ZF 5 speed in my 84 F250 I had to change the floor pans cause the ZF was taller then the T19 I pulled out. Id asume that the 93 and the 95 cab are the same set up with a bolted in floor pan since the cab was the same from 1980 to 1997

19979 yes the "new" (new to me with LESS rust) will get some sort of coating under it.
i sealed the dael today and got the donor truck for $600. it was a customers that brought it in about 1 1/2 years ago with what they thought was a bad starter after it sat for a year but the rings have rusted to the cylinders. so it has been sitting in the lot since and they finally decided to sell it. i am repairing the cab and box to put on my truck and my friend who is a body man need the front clip interior and all engine wiring for a bronco that burned the day before the ford recall on cruise control switched came out. so i get free labor from him for the parts and i sell the rest of it plus my old cab and box to make all of my money back! can't ask for much more than that!
