cab question for the group - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

caspear78 · 12-22-2003, 08:43 PM

ok for starters i am a newbie to the group and would like to introduce my self, my name is mark and i have a 1970 long bed gmc,350, turbo 350 trans,650 edelbrock 4 barrel and headers with true duals, ok enuf of that on to my question for yall,,,,

ok i am looking into getting another cab for my truck due to bad ruct cancer. i have looked at a couple and found one that has very little cancer to it, but the only problem i have found is that it is a 67 chevy 1 ton cab, my question is, will this cab work on my 70 gmc 1/2 ton, or is there a big differnce in the way it mounts or what?

*Randy70C-10* · 12-22-2003, 08:45 PM

They're all interchangeable.

krue · 12-22-2003, 08:48 PM

The cab will interchange, there may be a few small differences, like how the E-brake mounts.

caspear78 · 12-22-2003, 08:50 PM

well see the e break dont work on my truck becuz who ever did the pips on it put the pipes rite on the lines and messed it all up

caspear78 · 12-22-2003, 08:54 PM

the price the guy qoute to me was 75- 100 bucks for it, and i looked under and found that it is good shape with very little holes which wont be hard to fix.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-22-2003, 08:59 PM

caspear78 how far away from nashville are you? I am just south of nashville in unionville. you wouldnt happen to know where their are any complete big block trucks sittin around do you? I am looking for one that is complete so I can swap the drivetrain into my 2wd blazer

Low69CST · 12-24-2003, 11:29 PM

I've done this cab swap before, if you look at the e brake and wiring harness holes they are different. We had to cut a section of the firewall out and replace it. Also the ignition key hole is different
