W300-d200 cab swap

Post by beardo1422 »

I have a 70 w300 that is in overall good shape except the cab. Floors are rusted out with the firewall and doors.
I have the option of buying a complete 67 d200 in much better shape, and it's even the same color.
Everyone says the cabs are different, but how different are they, and could I swap the 200 cab in place of the 300 cab, and use the 300 front clip?

Thanks

The front clips are the same. 300 and up the transmission humps are lower. The steering column sits about 3 inches higher on 200s and 100s but you can patch those holes and cut new ones. All of that can be changed. BUT the 67 would be a hydraulic clutch cab, so the firewalls are generally speaking, not the same, and there is one more hole needed in the floor for the manual clutch linkage. If the truck's an automatic this won't be much of an issue save for filling in extra holes. However, if that is what you have to work with, it can be done. I can post pictures if it would help. Let me know.
