Cabs whats the difference ???

[mjgord51]

Can the dashes be re-mounted from one another, does it bolt to the cab carcass, so what I'am saying I'd like to keep my dash don't really want the a/c stuff, gas peddle cable, e-brake push peddle, and any thing else. As far as the DMV vin plate that is easy (a drill & some new rivets) & done with that. * * * My trucks reg. wont change at all.* * * I just want to change out my parts & transfer all to the good carcass, as far as the doors mine are good, all extra parts will be sold. mjgord51

PS any more Info keep on coming, Thanks

What you just said is illegal in all 50 states. The donor cab should have all the paperwork as the truck you're driving along with DMV certification to avoid losing the truck and your freedom.

I just got a cab from a 72 gmc and it has vents in the rear door pillar. I think they are that way on chevys also. Also check your state laws because in kansas all you need is a bill of sale so you could possibly get it impounded and get it declared abandoned and have the company "sell" it back to you if you have friends that can do that.

The 71 truck I used to fix WiggyHD's cab had the vents in it as well, It might have been a late 71 thing?

If Obama can get away with what he has done to our USA with every one looking than who cares about 2 little rivets! ! !, donor has NO paper work & was abandoned & now belongs to the Parks & Wildlife Reserve, I'll get at least a bill of sale but as far as registering it as a 72 well thats just not going to happen, it will stay a 68 reg. Body shops cut out & change parts every day.

Federal law cares. I've seen a few friends swap vins around with Rosette rivets and no one bats an eye, but use regular rivets and that sets off red flags. If you're going through the trouble do not use regular rivets, that will land you in jail and receiving fines, plus your truck is confiscated. No one wins. Get a bill of sale to coa. DO NOT DRILL. Best of luck.

Its entirely possible the vents started in 1971

The truck is already in my name, I don't have to register it any more, So one more time "who cares"

Would like more input, Is the A/C cab at the firewall heater box area different in the mounting/ screw pattern of the A/C unit on the firewall? mjgord51

Yes , the heater box holes are completely different .

I am just did this on my rusted out base model '60 C/10 , I wanted AC and now have to fiddle with all that .

FWIW , they do sell inexpensive " AC Delete " covers so that's not a big deal .

If ever you get pulled over in Cali. and asked to step out of the vehicle and they see non rosette rivets , you will begin to care a whole bunch really fast .
