All sheetmetal is interchangable on all F series trucks of the same year, absolutely no difference between a 2wd or 4wd or F150, F250, or f350.

Thanks

Thanks so much... I was also told that as long as I was changing cab& front clip that I could go from 80 to 97 . They said to do both to keep wiring harness the same..Any opinions here?

you can probly do it
but it would not be a easy task at all
i think the newer modle have a narrower frame by 3 in i belive

my opinion not worth it
but i am not 100% on the frame

You don't have to change the cab to get the newer front clip, just all the frontend sheetmetal and rad support and some minor wiring changes. I believe there is a little custom work to do on the front bumper mounts as well.

like he said its all interchangable. all doors are the same except mirrors and panel mounts wich are siple switches. and this goes for not anly f250 but the 150 and 30 all use mostly the same body parts.
