By the way, there was no 1/2 ton Chevrolet long wheel base until the mid/late 1950s (Task Force trucks). | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | Yes. There may be a difference in mounting tabs on the cab but that is an easy fix.ðŸ›

The 50 cab has mounts at the back on each side of the frame, you will need to drill holes in frame rails for them if not already available.
The 48 cab has a single center rear cab mount, can't use that mount in later cabs. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,272 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,272 | I did what you are trying to do. Find someone who has a 49 or later truck and see if he will let you take some precise measurements of where the holes need to go. The precise location of these holes his crucial for making cab alignment easy.
