Pictures of Cab Swap Progress (slowly but surely)
Check out the progress on my cab swap. It will be a very SLOW process because of money and of my two kids that need lots of attention.
![]() http://www.shelbournes.net/trucksite/cab_swap.htm We pulled most of the front end off the donor last night and should be removing the engine, tranny, and (time permitting) the cab. We will check out the 350 that's in the donor, but it looks like maybe it threw a rod because there's a small hole in the oil pan.

What did you do about the VIN? Did you just title it to the new cab?

The rivets are special from the factory, If you put take it off, wont you get into trouble for tampering?

Oh! With all the stolen vehicles out there I thought there would be some kind of penalty for doing that

It is technically illegal but people do it all the time.

As long as you hold both titles...no harm, no foul. Just don't get rid of the extra title.

You may be able to obtain the factory rivets if you contact a dealer in your area and explain the situation. They will most likely make you pay them to install them. Its a very big deal for the factory, they are very picky about were the rivets go.

My 79 has it on the dash pad. Big Red is keeping the same frame just swapping cabs (vin plates will change from cab to cab) and and front end.
This shiould be legal since body shops have been doing this for some time now changing cabs over that have been in accidents.
