Post 49 cab

can i use a 51 f-3 cab in stead of my 49 f-1 cab??
the 49 is rusted out pretty good but the 51 has a few holes but is real work able.
can i just switch tags??
i didnt look at my 51 before i wrapped it up for the winter.
or should i just find another 49 and switch tags??

I think the only difference is going to be the back window, dash.

If you're going to redo the '51 later, wouldn't it just be easier to find another cab and keep the '51 together for now? If you can't repair or find another cab in time you'll still have the '51 to use.

Have access to 49 F-2 and won't be using the cab. Will be using doors and some other parts. If you have a use for it and have means of getting the cab it is yours. I would rather have someone make use of it than put it in the crusher.

Sorry for the delay in answering but I have been out of town. Checked on truck this evening and will be bringing it to town in the next few days before the snow flies too hard. After obtaining the parts I need for my project vehicle you can have the cab. I live in Breckenridge, Minn. That is 45 miles south of Fargo, N. D. The truck was originally Crimson red. Will give more details later.
