will 60-62 cabs fit on 63-66 frames? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a nice 63-66 frame, and I was wondering if the mounts were diffrent on the 60-62 cabs? has anyone done this swap? thanks

NO, As I understand the front mounts are in a different position. This is on the BB somewhere, do a quick search.

yes they fit, but the front cab mount is narrower on the later slyle frame. i just redrilled mine and cut a peep hole in the floor brace to bolt it up.

You can also get the rivited front mounts on the 60-62 frame and bolt it to the 63-66 frame. That would make it look stock.
