body swap

I have a 1980 D150 with a rotten cab.

I've been considering an earlier cab, like one from the 40's.

I saw a 47 at a show recently, and asked the owner if I could take some measurements.

I was shocked to find that the 47 frame is actually a couple inches wider than my 1980 frame.

The distance from the back of the cab to the front axle center line was identical.

Armed with that info, I think a Dak frame is going to be too small.
