I am needing some input and help on my 1972 Chevy K20. I need to replace the cab, but the only decent cab I can locate is from a 1967 C20 pickup. I know the parking brake is different, and that the fuse panel is in a slightly different location than the '72. Is there anything else that would complicate the swap? As far as I can tell, the cabs are the same except for the above. Any help would be great! Thanks,

Same overall location but I believe the frame mounts are lower on the K to allow for taller rubber mounts... ? Or maybe higher on the K to allow for less flex...? anyways, they're different.(I think the former is the true statement.)

Thanks for the replies. Neither of the cabs are A/C equipped so no problem there. I am wondering if the wiring harness on the 72 chassis will plug directly into the 1967's fuse block, or if i'll have to rewire the cab. I have the tranny floorpan cover from the 72 so I hope it will fit the new cab as well. I will let you'all know how it goes! Thanks,
Colby. | | |
