I'm sure you're going to get this response, so without trying to be a smart @*@ I'll be the first to ask. What year truck are you talking about? That said, my guesss would be probably not, but I'm sure someone else here has tried it? Good Luck. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 3 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 3 | Sorry, both are 1947,1st series. Eddie

but actually regardless of year, all the cabs I've seen [assuming it's not a COE] are the same for any size, and your front sheet metal should fit, but there may be small things they made different to fit the larger frame and fenders, so you might have to adapt a bit

I just picked up the mechanical and model identification data and it turns out it (well the cab for sure) is a '45 2 ton. Everything else is half ton though, ie shortbox, frame, front sheetmetal. So yes, a 2 ton cab is the same.

Probably under a shed too in the winter. Makes sense to me. Thanks for your comments. Eddie
