im looking into putting a new cab on my truck. my truck is a 95 extcab auto. but what i want to do is put a 98 or newer cab so its 4 door. but my question is will it matter what it comes off of. whether it be gas diesel 1500 2500? and also will my dash and wiring harness fit in a newer cab and everything be the same? the trucks look so alike and not much changed and i think they would but i dont want to pull the trigger till i get more info

 

no diff between gas and diesel or 1500 to 2500.

 

You'll need to make sure you have the diesel instrument cluster for the new interior. That's of course, if your interior doesn't fit.

 

but the wiring harness will fit in every cab? and the gauge cluster has been a concern. but im thinking everything willvswa over no problem. just will have to take alot of pictures and notes

 

Just did this swap... its a lot of work. And no the wiring in both cabs are different. If you want to use the newer 98+ dash you need a 98 12 valve wiring harness and pcm. But your old dash and cluster will bolt into the newer cab if you want to go that route.

why would i need a 98 pcm and harness if im putting my dash/gauges in and basically gutting the new donor cab. and how much different are the harnesses?

 

He said you'd need the pcm/harness if you were going to be using the new interior. You'll be good if you reuse your old stuff.

 

oh oh i missed that. sweet well thanks! if i have any more questions ill be sure to message you bout them if thats cool

 

 

got any tips from your swap? im think im gonna pull the trigger on this swap
