Does anyone have any good resources for info on cab swappage? I've perused multiple threads, and so far the most informational has been Monte's. The thought of doing a full cab swap is high on my list of consideration right now, as it'll be more structurally sound, and require less body work. I'm tentative with the idea of doing the roof swap - at best if the pillars are all sleeved on the inside, it'll just be slightly less prone to buckling in the event that the truck wants its belly rubbed again. No matter how well it's done, there's always going to be that possibility lurking in the back of my mind.
And I don't like the way cages look on tacos, and don't want one on mine - too busy for my taste.
Basically, I can make my schedule such that I have time to fuss around with a cab swap, provided I can figure out space to do this, and the steps necessary. I want to be absolutely sure that this is something I can confidently tackle before I dive into it, as if I get in over my head, that's kind of a tough spot to be in.
As with any project I begin, I make sure I know the major steps before I begin, cut, or remove anything. Does anyone have info for how the wiring from the engine bay to the cab attach inside? And what all enters/exits the cab (roughly) for electrical and mechanical? Obviously the throttle cable, parking brake, brake and clutch stuff, are all mechanical, I've never looked closely at how the brake and clutch bits transfer through the firewall, but the throttle and parking brake are just cables.
I figure if I can completely gut the donor cab, get the existing cab off, and the gutted donor on the frame, then connect the basics, I can go to work disassembling my cab and systematically moving parts from one to the other - bit by bit...
