1963 question??

I have a 1963 f-100 and I'm wondering if a 1965 f-250 cab will fit, along with fenders, hood and doors? My cab is rusted up and I found this complete truck cheaper and want to just switch cab.

Welcome to FTE.

The frame is different between the 2 years, it would not be easy to swap them. the doors, finders, hood will swap between trucks.

Mike Welcome to FTE! The chassis are different starting in 65 with the twin I-beams. You can make it work but will have to do some mods.

If you like the body style, I would suggest getting a 65/66 because upgrades become bolt up, where as not so for your model.

Mike, We are not sharing what we think, we are sharing what we know, but go ahead, play like Burger King and have it your way.
