cab swap: keeping the same dash?
My 67' needs some rocker panel work and needs floors. I have my eye on a 68' that I could use be someone told me that I would have to keep the 68' dash in the truck because its all one piece. the controls in the 68' are different than mine so what should? Can I cut out the dash from the 67 and put it in the 68? If I want the 68 cab am I stuck with the different heater control design? Please help.
contact me if you can help with information about my 67' f-250

Is that the only difference between the two years? One other question that I have. the frame ends that are in front of the support under the oil pan are bent to the side
after a wreck last week should I try to bend them back or cut off the ends of the 68' frame and weld it in place? I can provide pictures to help you aid in the recommendation. If I can figure out how to put pictures on this page. I also have them at.

re: cab swap: keeping the same dash?
The heater area of the dash is different. You could switch that area. Also, you could cut the whole dash out and replace it with a 67. The doors are completely different. The release mechanism is different. It has the turn release, not a pull handle. That is lots of trouble to do anything for. I would re-ues the doors from the 67 if I wanted correct looking doors.
