ranchhopper Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 My cab arrived from southern California today better than I expected they threw the mirrors and headlight bezels in for nothing so overall Im pretty happy with it. There is one spot where the hood slamming on the firewall has damaged it but thee old cab will make a good donor for the piece I need but best of all no rust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Very nice, clean cab. Is it a big job to swap them over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchhopper Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Its a pretty big job had to add some weight to the back of the tractor to lift 1500 pounds of cab out of the truck lots wires and other stuff to transfer over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b615rich Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Nice Chevy. Funny how much a Superliner cab looks like an R model cab. Anyone know how much is interchangeable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchhopper Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Me too Mike they sent me the whole set up for the rear of the cab with the shocks and airbag hopefully I can figure out how to use it sure would be better than a solid mount cab. Mounts on the front look pretty much the same the hood rests are different on the bottom they sent me the headlight bezels they are plastic mine are metal but theirs are in better condition.

I'll got out an shoot a few photos of it for you. I tried to buy the truck a few weeks ago but not for sale at any price I was told.

ranchhopper Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 The western macks have a cab that sits much higher than eastern trucks Im going to have to find the older style rear mounting bracket mine is the newer style which wont work and cannot be modified to work.

keg1 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I added air ride on my 83 and it has the other style crossmember. Wasn't to bad to make it work. It rides a lot better to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It's 2 piece with the shock mounts and lower bag mount bolted to it with what looked like 3/8 grade 8 bolts/ nyloc nuts. Should be easy to fab something up if needed from a piece of rectanguler tube.
