I am wanting to do a supercab swap onto a hiboy chassis, frame, and driveshaft length are of no concern, how much of a pain will it be to fit the supercab cab onto a 75-77 highboy chassis. and help would be great, thanks aaron

If you'd like help lifting it would help to know where you are.
Just kidding. Welcome to FTE.

It should be relativily easy, as if I am thinking correctly there were supercab highboys available between 75-77 so as long as you can get a set of rubber cab mounts the mounting holes should already be there, also i assume you know this but if it is a 4x4 all you have to do is switch the bolt on floor pan in the cab to have the proper hole for your 4x4 shifter.

i could be wrong so please correct me if i am.the hi boy frames were narrower than the regular models. wouldnt that mean the body mounts would be different also?

Are you talking about mounting a supercab cab onto a regular cab frame? If so, I think you will have to fabricate a body lift (2-3") to makeup for the differences in the frames. And you will have to use a flatbed, or cut down a regular box - super cab shortbed doesnot equal regular cab longbed - wheel bases are different...

Might be easiest to find a supercab frame and build up from there...
