cab differences

Post by fordman »

i don't know if this is covered somewhere but i do remember something about part of this. The 70 cab i took off toady didn't have the plates under the fuel tank in the cab. it just had bolts going straight through to the rubber mounts. The 69 i took apart in may did have those plates undeer the bolts. So ther is a slight difference there.

Also the hump for the c6 was a soild removable pan with no holes cut in it. i thought the removable pans in the floor were only in the manual trans trucks. maybe that is why the hump is higher in the c6 trucks. because they had to allow for the larger c6 so they just used a soild hump pan with a manual cab.

The later trucks through 96 (97 f-250s and 350s) had removable plates on the trans hump there regardless of transmission. It makes taking the bellhousing bolts out 100000% easier.

All cabs have the cab hold-down plates. The plates for the '67-'69 trucks do double-duty as the lower mounts for the in-cab fuel tank, whereas the lower mounts for the '70-'72 tanks bolt to the cab.

Trucks equipped with 4-spd manual transmissions or C-6s came with the removeable tranny hump. Trucks with a 3-spd manual or an FMX had a solid tranny hump.
