Re: cab swap

I've never heard (read) anything to the contrary. I'm 99% sure they'll swap, but I'm sure someone else on here can offer up that last 1%

Re: cab swap

Not 100% sure but the front mounts on my 62 are farther out from the frame compared to joes (64?) that was the only difference that i have seen. But i do agree with joe about, its only metal

Re: cab swap

Yep, the 60-62 front cabmounts or diff from the 63-66. Just need to change the front mounts when you do the swap. the 60-62 frames are wider so they use a little longer cab mount. I've done it no big deal. Just unrivit the mounts and bolt them with grade 8 hardware.
