Hi all, I have a real nice 76 cab and front clip, I have a chance to buy an 84 short box, the box is good but the cab is shot.
Has anyone on here mates the two up? If so, any pics?
Thanks in advance.
Les.

I've seen it done, the main difference is the body line above the rear wheels is "thinner" than the older trucks. If the price is right, go for it, and get newer fenders if it doesn't look good to you.

I believe the body line is a little different as seen on trucks that swapped doors. The other day I saw an 80's bed on a 95. runaway
