What, if any, are the differences from a 62 cab to a 63 cab?

I believe the mounting points are different. 60-62 has a narrower frame

The front cab mount holes in the '60-'62 cabs are wider than the '63-'66 cabs.

Another way to tell is, the '60-'62's came with the dual master cylinder. One side for the brakes, and the other side for the clutch. If the master is gone, there will be 2 round holes, aprox 2" in diameter. Also, the '60-'62's had the cable operated kick panel vents with the louvers.

my '62 has the lever vents. '61 may have been the last year for cables.

I think '61 was the last year for cables as well. Also, the front mounting points are the key since in '63 the four wheel drives had a dual master cylinder as well.

Do you guys happen to know the measurement of the width of the front mount hole centerlines for the 62 and 63?
