Re: cab ????
should be pretty easy as its a direct swap.. they all follow the same lines so there are no other mods to the cab to make...

Re: cab ????
There are several things to disconnect like mentioned above . Also , dont forget about the emergency brake cable . 73-80 cabs are basically the same except for a few differences . Seat belt mounting changed over the years .73-76 seem to be the same . 77 is almost a unique setup . 78-80 have the same style seat belts as the 81-87 style . If you have enough help or a lift , it is a straight forward job .
