there are several different frames under each class of truck, in different years....some frames are wider than others at the rear of the cab, the front four mounts are the same but the rears are where the differences are...so measure the distance between your rear cab mounts and find a cab that matches that...look at the placement of the mounts too, some have brackets outside the frame, some sit on crossmembers between the frame....

When we put a 2 wheel drive 79 cab on my 73 f250 4x4 frame the 79 cab had plugs covering the outer holes we just had to drill the holes thru the lower part of the cab. hope this helps.
