Post by: 989kkzx on April 14, 2016, 10:12:41 pm

hi i am new to the form and was wondering what years of chevy cabs will fit a 73 chevy 3/4 ton  4x4  frame? the one i have now has a manual transmission so if i get a cab that had a auto in it will it be hard to convert it to a manual trans? any help will be great thank you

Any year cab will work, the only cab that will require some work is the low center hump 2wd auto cab, auto 4x4, manual 2wd, and manual 4x4 all had the high center hump

Exactly. Had a similar problem in a 82 K5 2wd I was building. I couldn't find a low hump for it

you also have to use the body mounts for the frame not the cab
