62 cab on a 66 frame?
I have a 1962 c10 cab and I am wanting to mount it to a 1966 c10 frame that i bought. My question is... if I remove the front cab mounts off the 66 frame and install 62 cab mounts on the frame will the 1962 cab bolt right up??

Re: 62 cab on a 66 frame?
Yes it will, I did a simaler swap, I just cut the cab mounts off one frame and used 7018 rods and welded them to the frame I used. I would also take the core support mounts off your 62 frame because they sit higher or at least they did on mine, or make a spacer. good luck!

This......
No need for any cutting or welding, unless you want to move the recessed cups for the body mount bolts to the new location.

Thanks for your reply blazins10.. If I drilled holes and used the 66 mounts would that be enough support for the cab.? or would I need to move anything else.

Re: 62 cab on a 66 frame?
the cab supports under the cab are very close or the same between the years except
the hole placement is like 4 inches towards the inside of the cab on the 63-66 cabs , i did a 62 cab on a 63 frame without an issue Posted via Mobile Device
