Cummins93 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 So my I had to put my 2000 in the ditch to avoid hitting another car an it wrecked the hood an cab, I found online a 2007 chn613 whole truck an I’m going to swap the hood an cab on to my 2000 because it’s a double frame triaxle super clean truck with a fresh e7 460 in it, I was wondering if anyone on here has done anything like this before an could give me some advice on things to what h out for? Any insight would be much appreciated, Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72859-2000-chn613-to-2007-chn613-cab-swap/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Remmers Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I think your biggest concerns will be that the '07 cab probably relies on a j1939 data link for diagnostics and instrumentation that wasn't likely present on the '00 chassis. The closest experience I've had was putting an '02 cab on an '07 Peterbilt. I spent a lot of time altering wiring harnesses to make it work. The 2 model years you're dealing with had completely different instrument panels so I'd expect you'll run into trouble wiring it.

Bullheaded Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Yes, the wiring may be a headache. But I don't know. I had a friend with a Sterling dump truck with a pre-DPF 450 Mercedes in it that blew up. So he got a Series 60 Detroit for it. You would think that would be an easy swap seeing as how they are all Daimler products. And it ended turning into a nightmare and he just ended up selling it all.

Mackpro Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 The CXN/CHN cab is also 6” longer than the CH and CX cabs from the 1989 through 2003.5 years. It seems the “bigger “ truck drivers could not slide the seat back far enough. Oddly enough the old short CX/CH cab was brought back into production for the MD series of truck that are being made today.

dsc Posted Thursday at 09:39 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:39 PM How about swapping a 1995 cab onto a 2000? Both CH613s.? 2000 is a low miles, good running truck that got laid over. Racked the cab beyond straightening.

880joe Posted yesterday at 12:24 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:24 AM Cab should be the same but will probably have to change every bit of wiring. The 95 will be vmac 1 or 2 and the 2000 will be vmac 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72859-2000-chn613-to-2007-chn613-cab-swap/#findComment-577084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
