dent in a bump...wild

Post by shortstack »

I bought a truck a while ago for the mean 390 it had. I got to looking at it and it was all pretty normal. I was out at the "parts department" the other day and noticed the dash in the ole' 67'...

It isn't too hard of a swap, the 73-79 dashes bolt in so all you have to do is cut out the top of the old dash and unbolt everything. The wiring plugs are different but the circuits are the same so splicing wires ends up being the hard part. Hawkrod

Yes and cab swaps are not uncommon. It is a pain but not too hard to put an F600 cab on an F250 4X4 and I know because I am in the process of using a dent F600 cab and front end on one. I am still trying to figure out what I want to use for the back fenders so they match the front. Hawkrod

i talked to the ebay seller. and he said it wasnt hard to put the dash in the dentside. so it wasnt a cab swap.
