Cab swap update
Just wanted to let everyone know how my project is going. With the help of several members here, I have replaced the cab on my 1972 K20 with a cab from a 1967 C20. The cabs are nearly identical, all the wiring from the 67 cab plugged directly into the harness of the 72 and everything works! The power brake booster bolts up where the old manual brake cylinder was. The only differences I have found so far are: parking brake mechanisms, throttle rod on 67 vs throttle cable on 72, 1 piece steering shaft on 67 (which I decided to use), fuel line from tank is 5/16 on 67 vs 3/8 on 72, and no switches on the doors for the dome lights. I hope this will be helpful to someone who does a similar swap, and I'd be glad to try to answer questions on this. Thank you all for your help on this project!
Colby.

Re: Cab swap update
Glad things worked out for you.
Now the obligatory...."Where are the Pictures?"

Re: Cab swap update
Oh yeah, pictures are coming. Too dark in the shop but when it quits raining I'll roll it out and snap a few.
