Besides the body and interior. It's a gasser F250.
Pretty sure the frame is different between the ex cab and crew cabCab swap is possible? I want to do an extended cab to crew cab swap on my idi. Finding a blown gasser sounds easier then a diesel

Most likely, I haven’t compared yet but fabrication is not a problem. It will be a while though I have some other plans firstPretty sure the frame is different between the ex cab and crew cab
Is the issue with the core support the bolt pattern for the radiator or strength?
The diesels use a humongous radiator that will not fit in a gasser core support. And as the years changed frontend/headlight styles, you have to get the correct year so all that fits also. Finding a diesel core support can be a problem sometimes.

Most IDIs use a rad support with a big dip in the middle between the frame rails. Fits a very large radiator; roughly square in shape. Some of the stripper models (like my buddy's '90, non-AC, 7.3/5spd truck) used a short/wide rad with the gas style rad support. FWIW, also the D44 front suspension instead of Dana 50.
Dana 44 front was standard on the f250 single cab trucks, no matter what engine they had.
