I have found a 1998 rust free cab and doors to replace my rusty cab and doors on my 2001 dodge diesel. The donor cab is from a 1500. I know the body parts are the same, but how about the under dash wiring. The engine harness is probably different. Has anyone done a similar swap. What problems did you encounter?

Thanks moparts

I replaced my rusted 85 cab with a 91 cab, and added a hydro clutch/nv4500 in while I was at it.

you will want to strip everything from old cab and install it in a striped replacement shell.

remove dash as a unit with harness/same under hood,move the front clip as a unit with harness unplugged from firewall.

but remember JUST is a golly whopper of a word...July to Dec to get mine done 1 day a week with 1 buddy helping me.

different yrs but same idea.. check out my cab replacement post on the truck board start to finsh for some pics/tips

good luck.
