Hi,

I'm going to be swapping cabs next friday. A 1960 cab going onto a 1965 frame. Just wanting to know if the bolt holes are in the same places and that everything matches up correctly before i get elbows deep into this and have to think about modifying things. Reason for the cab swap, the 65 cab i could put my size 14s through the floor boards and the 1960 is best cab out of the 4 1960-66's I've owned. PLus the 1960 is a look i love. any help is appreciated!

thanks!

Going to the swap meet in a month. Haven't gotten anywhere with it and decided to sell it so I can paint my 442. Too many projects! Just gonna keep one truck as a shop truck and have my muscle painted

So its on the block!
