Is not hard at all to switch the cabs,the 72 bed on the other hand will not look right with the 77 cab,just not right at all.

if the wiring harnesses are the same, unplug the wires at the firewall, unbolt everything down the pass fender and leave it with its cab, unbolt the master. everything should be unhooked at this point. there are 4 bolts underneath that hold the body to the frame and like 6 that bolt the fender inners and a few for the fenders. unbolt all of those and your cab should be loose. remove and put the new one in place and reverse the above steps. could be done in an afternoon if the wiring is the same.

If one cab is an early year 77 and the other is a late year 77 you'll have to drill new holes for the rear cab mounts but it's not a big deal.
