Cab Swap

Hi, I am looking for some information on swapping an older cab onto newer frame, and started this thread:Cab Swap - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Hoping if anyone has anything on the subject, they can chime in.

Thanks!

I can't help you there. I have seen pictures that a member has of a 70's model cab on a late model stroke frame. He even used the wiring harness and complete dash out of the stroke.

I have a feeling I'll be in trouble with drive by wire retrofitting.

Since I know there have been Power Stroke engines installed on older trucks, I know it is possible to adapt the wiring.

How long the wiring took to make it work, I have no idea.

As long as you are working with a donor truck 97 and older, the cab styles are not that different, which should make it a lot easier.
