cab replacement for a 76 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi Guys,

So after extensive work on my cab (corners, firewall, etc.) we got to the floorboards and rockers and I was disappointed to find out that my cab is basically garbage due to extensive rust.

Could you tell me if any cab 73-87 will work for me to replace my 76 cab? And are there any differences that I will need to be aware of?

Best,
JW

You need to use the body mounts to your chassis... also you will need to swap over the wiper assembly if you use a newer cab and depending on how authentic you want your truck you will have to swap over stuff from the old cab to the new any cab is a direct bolt on from 73-87
