Default need cab help

hi all i am new to this site i have a 1991 f250 with a 7.3L idi non turbo and a extended cab the rig has just over 237000 miles on it and is running really strong the major problem is that the cab is so rotted out that the rear drivers side cab mount has punched through the floor and the floor is becoming dis conected from the sides of the cab it is to the point that the drivers side door dosen't close without some screwing around. now to the point i have been thinking of just replacing the whole cab the thing is i don't know what year to look for and what years cab would work i have been told that a 89 to 94 would work. just wondering if mounts and stuff will line up. any one know please let me know. tim

Most junkyards have books to tell what is a direct replacement from different years.

We've been using the new 3M undercoat for stuff like that! It works great, it paintable, rubberized, All the good stuff. It probably provides better adhesion and salt resistance than the bedliner!
