Swapping cabs .....
How difficult is it to swap a 67 to a 68 cab.....the original 67 we were going to use is too beat up and the spare 68 we have is in better condition ....plus it's the 50th anniversary cab.....so please school me on the process...

Re: Swapping cabs .....
the only year for the 50th anniversary cab is the 1969 the only difference in the 1967 to the 68 cabs is the rear window i just bought a 1968 cab for 200.00.It will replace the 1972 truck cab that is cancer on the top both of these cab's are A/C Cabs so I will be having a fun time swapping the parts.One note Buy new rubber cab mounts and core support rubber mounts and if you Have about a extra 400.00 laying around Buy the new Factory RE-POP M&H fuse and wire harness and buy the one for the 1972 truck More options in the wire harness.And the best thing about buying the 1972 factory repop harness your wiper and your light switch is on the same side of the cluster

Re: Swapping cabs .....
I agree with Wes, 68 is the 50th anniversary. Also 67's could have big back windows. 67 lighter and ignition switch area on the dash are different too.
That being said you will want to take the front fenders off, unbolt the cab, unhook the gas lines, and unplug the harnesses from the firewall. Then you have heater hoses, throttle rod, brake lines or master, and probably a few other odds and ends. It isn't tough, just start unhooking things and go for it.
