Swapping 1961 and 1963 cab questions.

Good morning. I just picked up a 1963 cab to sit on a 1961 frame and didnt realize the cab mounts were different. What all is needed for this swap to work? Would the 1961 mounts work or do i need to swap out the cab mounts as well?
Thanks

Re: Swapping 1961 and 1963 cab questions.

Drill two new holes up front floor in the 63 Cab to match the dimensions of your 61 frame. The middle plateau of the cab support will be the correct position for the cab mounts. In the parts book, they stated that the 63 cabs were a replacement for 60-62 applications. Template the brake and clutch holes as well as their mounting positions for the master.
