Champ truck cabs

[Orestudeguy]

Ok,I have a 63 Champ truck with rusty floors, rockers, etc..
What my question is, will an earlier Champ cab fit on a 63 truck?
If modifications are needed what am I looking at?
I have found good cabs of various years, just not the same year as mine..
Thanks,

The cab will fit but earlier trucks have thru the floor pedal arrangement.
Not sure if they bumped out the firewall to accomodate the suspended pedals or not. I have an 8E12 and a 7E7 but its too cold out to go look tonite. Other than that not much is different. They couldnt afford many changes.

There are some firewall differences. The swing pedals as mentioned, and a re-shaped firewall to accept the master cylinder. Also, the opening for the steering post is different on the 1963-64 models. So some sheet metal work will be required.
