  1. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    Being honest and a smartass are totally different. You were being honest. Well see Monday...
  2. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    I only paid $400 for the truck as a whole not running and unaware of the cancer. I bought it for the HD F250, clean frame,c6 trans and diesel engine. Trans has no reverse and engine won't start.
  3. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    Sounds easy but I know it won't be. Where are all the bolts holding the front clip on? If I can't get a core support, I'm gonna try to get by and leave the clip on. Depending on what yard I go with, I'm not pulling the new cab. Just wondering if $400 for a bare, rust free, direct swap cab that I...

    OK. What do I do and where should I start? Lol.
  5. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    Really wish there was a tutorial somewhere how to do it instead of the "bum rush it" method and guess...

    That's what I said!
  8. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    Found one if I wanna spend 400 and drive 200 miles one way to get it.
  9. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    I would love to get a rust free painted cab swaped in, electronically sound and the engine to actually run. Cranks fine but no start.
  10. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    HAHA! I did this on the floor before I put them on the truck. Never do it in the engine bay. They work great but need to route them the proper way and find the right terminals. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow.
  11. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    Not if you do it right. I kept the flame strictly on the lead and never let it touch the copper if I could help it. And move the fire all over the lead, not in one spot. When it starts to bubble, its getting there.
  12. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    No you understood right. I did melt them off. A propane torch on high and 3 minutes and they start to bubble, 5 minutes they're very soft and at that point, hit the cable on cement and ka boom. They break apart. Leather gloves and eye pro are a must since it can pop at you and the heat of the...
  13. 1987 F250 cab swap. How?

    Didn't need to cut them. Just a little heat and they came off. A yard 200 miles away has one that they claim has just roof surface rust and the other said it's rust free. Both are sending pictures Monday. The roof rust is being blamed on the gray paint used. I dunno.
