I'm psyched! I can’t believe how nice it is… I’m half tempted to buff out the paint and touch up the scratches…
One thing I have noticed so far is that it has two bolts front to back on the core support to mount to frame. Mine had a single bolt. May have to make an adjustment there.

what size truck did the cab come off?
There are differences in the schackles
good luck | | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 271 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2012 Posts: 271 | It's off of a 6500 going on a 3800.
going to fab the 8" or so extensions to turn my frame into a 4100 frame essentially. that's the plan for now anyway.
i think my frame has the two holes I need for the radiator core but i have to double check. rear cab mounts different? i have both my 3800 shackles and the new cab has the original ones too | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | The differences could be between the small cab shackles and larger cabs.
Might not effect your project. | | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 271 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2012 Posts: 271 | good to know. ill check on that.
so even though all conventional trucks used the same cab, some had different shackles than others? maybe because the 1/2 ton frame is different in that area. i think it"s wider. | | |
