Could I mount a '54 3800 can and forward sheet metal on a '49 frame? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
1. Yes
2. What size 1949 frame?
The cab mounts would be your main concerns.
| | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 | The frame size is a 3100. But I am now thinking the truck may be a 4100 or 6400. I am waiting for confirmation. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | fenders are different 1.5T and above, but the cabs are all the same, other than possible need to modify mounts, as Tim mentions

Would it be an easy thing or wildly complicated? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 | Maybe you can help identify what this is. Looks like the side emblem says 350L? http://i.imgur.com/3ntiCfF.jpg | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yes jr, the front clip of the 3100 will mate to the 6500 cab, which should be a direct interchange for the 3100 cab
Bill | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 367 | Let me ask this: the cab is a 49. Will the front clip from a 47 through a 53 mount to this can, too, or will the dimensions be off? | | |
