Cab Swap
Hello, I have a 1977 F350 Rollback, I'm wondering how hard it would be to put a 1995 Cab, and front clip on to the frame. I have a shop to fab, cut and weld, but not sure if it is even possible. Thanks, Tim

I have the whole 95 donor truck, my main comcern is the stering, does anyone know if this will work? I can cut the mounts off of the 95 frame if need be, don't think there would too much of a problem there.

if you have a shop to fab, cut, and weld, you would already know that you can put any cab on any chassis with enough fabbing, cutting, and welding.
The fact that you are asking the question makes me wonder if you have the requisite skills and experience to make it a practical swap.

I think he's doing it because he wants to...lighten up guys, lol
Hey TowTruck1, is the old cab rotted or you just want to modernize that old roll-back? I'm sure someone on FTE could use the cab if it's good! My '77 need a new one but I'm no where near ready to do a swap. Good luck to you!

As I said before - it can be done. And if you have the time, shop space and skill it can often be done for less out of pocket than buying a newer truck. BUT it also boils down to how much free time you have and what your time is worth.
