Anyone know if the tilt front end from a 1989 F700 would work on a 1987 F350? The cab and doors look the same to me, just some fab work in front to make it look like a big boy?

F600/700/800 and F250/350/450 share the same doors.
nothing else.
the bigger truck use a completely different firewall and floor pan.
no pics right now, but when my f700 comes in for service I'll take some pics and post them.

Thanks! I can get a tilt front end for $100 and was thinking of using it on my 87 4x4. That would be just too easy, I guess.

He never said it wouldn't work, just that it's not a bolt on affair. You could do it if you REALLY wanted to. A welder and grinder make everything fit!

I was not expecting a bolt on affair, but am not looking for a project like that.
