Cab Changes over the years

[Rust Buster]

Besides the gauges and cowl lights, were there any changes to the cabs from 46-68? I'm looking at a '49 cab as a replacement for my 67. Will there be any issues?
Thanks in advance!

I do not believe so.

The mount style changed at some point or was that only in the frame side?

When the method of cab mounting changed, it was the location of riveted brackets on the truck frame that changed as a result, not the cab.

There were other minor changes to the cab between 1946 and 68. None of which should affect putting a '49 cab on a newer truck as most of the changes took place earlier. Some that come to mind are in the brackets where the headliner attachs to the cab roof, location of overflow tank wellnuts in the firewall, and early '46 cabs had a wiring harness knockout left over from WWII cab tooling.

....and the later cabs omitted the cowl lights...

Good job....
