cab swaps
I've bought two trucks
one is a 96 250 5.8 4x4 93k e4od good powertrain bad body, not rusted but badly dented $366
the other is a 94 250 5.8 4x4 e4od bad tranny motor parts missing BUT a prefect body $250
I thinking of swapping cabs but wondering will need to change computers and some wiring because of the 96 having OBD 2 and the 94 OBD 1

Are you 100% sure the '96 is OBD-2? Only trucks under 8500lb GVWR got that in '96, everything else retained OBD-1 EFI systems. If the '96 indeed has OBD-2 then all the wiring has to change along with the computer, the 2 systems cannot be combined.

OK got both cabs off both truck are down to rolling frames.
the only difference is my good power train truck is a E4OD and my cab is set up for a C6 from what I can tell the wires are in the steering collum for the od off button. so i'm thinking that all I need to do is change shift levers and computers and plug it all back up.
I think I'm correct in saying the E4OD has its own control harness that plugs in too the passenger side of the trans. an then connects back to some plugs close to the fuse box under the hood. and the shift points are controled by the computer.
