Question Cab Swap

I have an 89 F350, 460 EFI that runs great but the cab is rotted beyond repair. I have located a potential donor truck, 89 f150 302 EFI with a good cab and blown engine. Both with standard 5 speed. My concern is the compatability of the computer and wiring harness. The two "Plugs" on the drivers side firewall (one white round, one black rectangle) look similar.

Advice on this matter would be appreciated.

Keep the F-350 computer with the 460, the 302 computer may or may not work with the 460, so keep the 460 computer with the 460. The wiring harnasses and what not should be close to the same unless you have an A/C cab switched for a non-A/C cab.

I would swap the cabs, keep the wiring harness and stuff from your original truck. Should be easy since you have your old truck for parts.
