I have a 76 F-250 4X4 that had/has wiring issues. I was able to get a 78 F-250 2WD that was complete. Was going to pull all the harnesses from the 78 and put them in the 76. Wonder if it would be easier/better to pull the 78 cab and put it on the 76 chassis?

In my opinion, I think the harness swap would be easier.

So pulling the cab and clip are really the only options here then and placing that on my 76 chassis. Probably makes more sense anyhow since I needed the gauge cluster and other stuff out of the 78 for my 76.
