If your truck is a 4x4 or manual trans or both, you need to think about the trans tunnel. It has to match or you need to transfer your tunnel to the donor cab.

As CCZ stated if the 74 cab is a 2WD cab you may have clearance problems on you 76 4x4.  We need more information to answer this correctly.

If you have a body lift it may have no clearance issues.
