I cant get measurements off a 1/2 ton my 2010 f250 is the reason i can get front cab measurements and also the fact that there a guy that I always see at the store with 84 cab and box bolted down to 02 f350 frame. There is always another way if the frame and floor dont match change the floor

super duty floor in a 68

D@MN!!! That is Bad A$$!!! :eek:

That would open up a lot of options (seats, powertrain, capability), but I don't think it's anywhere close to bolt-on. Just the kind of suggestion I need. Give a toddler a loaded .38 why don't ya!?!? :lol:

My biggest two concerns with doing something like that would probably be cost (manhours - not something I'd want to take on) and safety.

Isn't there a lot of difference between the dimensions of bumpside or modern florboard? If so, did trimming the SD floorboard to fit the bumpside cab necessitate removal of portions of the floor which provide support for the rest of the cab?

Wouldn't it be easier to fabricate cab mounts?
67 F-100 Flareside, 300, Offenhauser 360, Holley 390, Duraspark and MSD ignition, NP-435 4-speed, 3.55 Dana 60, and it will absolutely roast 30" rear tires taking off in 2nd (the one time I tried scared the Bejeezus out of me)

Next engine mod: RV cam (252*)

He keep his bump side frame and put the SD floor in for better seats and carpet options, also said that it fit quite well.
