First time on the board. I have a 77 chevy 3/4T 4wd with manual transmission and the box and cab are rotted. I am planning to use the cab and box from a 78 GMC 3/4T 2wd with automatic transmission to restore my 77 chevy. I'm planning to gut the 78 GMC cab and install seat and dash from the 77. Are there any surprises that I'm going to run into during this cab swap? I'm aware of the problem of the 2wd cab floor hump being too low for the 4wd transfer case and the suggestions to resolve but is there anything else? Thanks for the help!

Aside from what you mentioned and a lot of penetrating oil not really! lol

Just a thought but if its your first time out with a C K series, and you have a digital camera, maybe take some pics of the process. They might be helpful in reassembly. working a on a 4.0 motor swap in a Cherokee right now. It would have been easier if I had done this.

Thanks for the feedback. The digpic idea is something I hadn't thought of. I'm divin' in!

I need help for agreeing to do the job!! Its my girl friends, been putting off doing it for a year now because I knew it was going to be pain in the arss. Its all in now just hoses, plugs, coil pack, plug in wires etc. etc. Thanks all the same. I do have two plugs I am not sure were they go if I don't find them I will hit you up. In the engine bay on the pasenger side in with the posotive battery cable. Not AC, not oil presure, not alt?
