Going to change a cab out of my 77 dodge truck.what years are the cabs.interchange?

72-80 cab.
81-84 must use glass from cab. body line at back of cab, wiring bulkhead different..
85-93 move door striker..
81 the back window opening changed, was made taller and wider. wiring blukhead was changed to a square.body line was moved down. 85 the door striker was moved up higher. 2wd all have the same hump.. 4x4 70's used bolt in hump 80 stamped in floor hump. have to be willing to oval out the shifter hole depening on the transfer...


With minor mods these swaps can keep older trucks running.

I used an 83 back window in my 73. Pulled it itself.

um I put a back glass from a 86 parts truck to a 79 warlock without any problems?? only difference is some are thicker than others

The door striker didn't move either it was a smaller design than the thicker 85-earlier versions because I installed doors off a 86 parts truck onto my 81 stepside and had to use the 86 strikers, but they are in the same location, not trying to make anyone upset, but I've done this swap many times without any problems on these trucks.

The roofline of the regular cab was also different. It was much more square above the rear window when viewed from the side. The club and crew cabs had the same profile as the 72-80 cabs.

So far as I know for a fact

The steering column mount changed in 1979 stayed that way till the end
The diameter of the striker changed in 1985
The heater box opening changed in 1979
If you have a stick you need a stick hump (NP435)
Wiper linkage changed in 1975
Rooflines changed of course
That's all I can remember off the top of my head for now

The early cabs had the gas tank behind the seat and a slightly different dash.

Rear window in a 72- 4 is 2" narrower than 75-93.
Did a custom job on a 74 back in the late 70's, only one person some what nailed year of truck, well experienced glass guy that knew mine had the narrow rear glass.

My 73' Pro Streeter had a Limo tinted 77' back glass I would have put an 87' in it that I tinted 1st but it was too thin for the gasket

ok,so if i go with 93 cab i just have to put 77 firewall in?
