I have a rebuilt 390, on a 4x4 Frame with a 3 inch lift, it is almost done I am putting the cab in this picture on it this weekend. I sanded and painted the frame, the bed is on it now, just waiting for the man power to lift the cab. But yes it is a 71, and thanks for the compliment!!

You putting the cab off the 2x onto the 4x frame? I here the back mounting areas are different from the 2x cab to the 4x cab.

Is that the origonal grille (72)?

Nice rig!

[ford4x4fun]

I hope it isn't different, as far as mounting I guess I will be able to tell you this weekend, when I have to start fabricating something. I think it is the original grill, but the truck is a 71, I am not 100 percent for sure. I just know I am ready to start driving it again!!!

ive been here a while but never done this

The rear cab mounts are different between 4x2 and F250 4x4.I'm not sure if they are different on F100 4x4.The difference is the rear mounts on a 4x2 sit on top of the crossmember that is under the rear of the cab.On F250 4x4's ( at least the ones I've seen ) the rear mounts are outside the frame rails.The good news is all of the floors were stamped for both styles.All you have to do is drill 2 holes and plug the unused ones.

[ford4x4fun]

From looking at it today, and measuring inside the cab, I think the cab is the same, they mount on the same portion underneath, and have the same measurements inside both cabs, I am going to get some pictures this weekend and put them in the photo section, thanks for the info!!!
