1952 Cab-Subframe Qestion

Hello,

This is my first post to this forum. I currently own a 52 F1 which will has considerable amount of rust throughout the cab. I'm considering purchasing a 1950 subframe with cab (no rust) but unsure as to the compatibility between the two years. I would prefer to build off of the 1950 subframe with cab and add the fenders, bed, grill, hood, etc from the 52. The advantage is that the 1950 subframe & cab are in excellent condition with motor mounts for a large block ford and disc brakes in the front. I appreciate any suggestions.

Regards,
Eric.

The 50 cab has a smaller back window and a different guage cluster. Other than that they are identical.
