That would be cool, I know a guy that has a 63 cab and bed on a 78 4X4 frame.
I know there is a 3" differance in wheel base.
Doesn't the cab need to be channeled to make that work?
Oh, the wheels are spinning so fast in my head it hurts.... OUCH!

Yeah, most likely I will be using just the cab from the 65 on the 77 frame and running gear. The 77 is a short-step and this 65 is a long fleet, so I may just match up the cab to the existing bed. I'll see how it looks, and if I don't like it then I can just keep my eyes open for a good shortbed. As far as I know the only change really needed is the cab mounts themselves. I have seen a few people talk about clearance on a rear crossmember, but I also have grinders and a welder.....I'll make it work.
