Low hump to high hump?

Would like any information available regarding converting a low hump cab to a high hump. I am having little luck finding a high hump 4x4 cab and am contemplating purchasing a low hump and using the doghouse from my current cab.

Current cab is beyond reasonable repair - passenger side door A pillar is rotten from bottom almost all the way to the windshield, plus other common rust through areas.

I imagine that someone has done this before and am looking for any issues/problems encountered, as well as other suggestions.

I have thought about installing a bodylift and just cutting a hole for the T-case shifter, but do not want the gaps from the bodylift.

Thanks

Mike

Re: Low hump to high hump?

I've done the conversion and it's realy not that hard. The low hump area of the floor that needs to be cut out is already embossed into the floor. If you take you high hump and place it on the floor of the low hump cab you'll see what I mean. Just mark all the holes, and cut the floor inside of the holes, leaving enough material to weld nuts under the floor, ( drill the hole before welding nuts on ) That's about all it takes.
