Thanks for the compliments Thomas.

Jeff, Truck looks AWESOME. Is this your daily now?
Interior release wasn't available for the 73-74's so you are looking at some fabrication to get that to work.

Found it.. That is already here:

Going in that direction is a simple matter of bolting the "doghouse" onto the cab. The only gotcha in going this direction is the frame horn on the 81-87 will have to be modified to fit the 73-80 rounded end for the bumper.

My buddy just went through this on his 1975 truck we swapped the cab and bed from the donor 81-87 and he used 75-79 parts for the frontend and kept his 75 frame.
