what color interiors were offered from 1997 down?? also what year of cabs will work on my friends 90 f150?? my friend rolled him truck down a hill and got hospitalized, so a bunch of buddies and i are putting our cash together and helping my friend who has hardly any money to fix his truck for him. could i use a 93 up cab & interior?? how hard would it be to do a front end swap to the 92 up??, mainly all i wanna do is replace the cab and interior but the other questions is extra i wanna know. any and all help is appreciated thanks

 

You will be better off just buying him a new truck. I'm sure if you find a 1990 cab, it would be attached to a truck that may be better than the one your trying to fix..........and you'll do way less work on it.

 

sorry to hear about ur bud, thats cool that you 's want to help him, just remember that anything is possible w/ enough time and money...keep us posted:santa:

 

LMC thats where you'll be able to find out all the info for the colours either order a free cataluge or even look on there website for the colours

 

thanks skate i ordered me a catalog!

 

You can't put a '92-96 dash into an older truck, but almost all other '80-96 parts will swap. But the colors changed in '92, so you'd be much better off sticking with '87-91 parts in a '90 truck.

 

im not to positive on this but if u are going to buy a whole new cab like from a wrecker make sure its from a 4X4 if the one he has is a 4X4 as well cause my dad's truck is 2 wheel drive and his center up is lower than my and mines a 4X4 i have like an extra peice of metal bolted down above the trans

 

no his is a 2wd and he was being stupid and tryed to climb a gravel hill. but yea, i found a xlt cab with a complete interior and front fenders for $350can so were gonna get his truck back on the road in no time plus he will have a few more options being an xlt interior as well :P

 

If you really want to do the work...

If you were to swap the whole cab, you would have to use the later dash...
Can the cabs be swapped?

I am not sure if the poster is asking about interior only when he says cab, or if he means the entire body cab...

If the cabs can swap, will the older bed line up with the body lines?

If not, can the later bed be swapped as well?

Just curious.

 

Yes the cabs can be swapped, and with exeption to the '80-'86 wheel well trim, the body lines are the same. The difference comes with the firewall being redesigned in '92 for the coming airbag in '94.
