Cabs

[MarkAubuchon]

I have a 1948 1/2 ton Dodge. The cab has several rotten spots, am debating to fix them or try and find another cab. What years are the same as a 48? 49, 50, 51, etc. Also is there anyone who makes replacement panels.

Cabs are very generic although there some small difference with some of the dirt shields by the front cab mounts. Body panels are pretty much salvaged from a donor or a DIY patch .

[MarkAubuchon]

Do you think that a 51 would fit? I have the all of the sheet metal, hood, fenders, bumper etc on the 48 right now.

Yes but 51 was the first year for the different gauge layout

Things I know are different on the 51-53 cabs from the 48-50 cabs...

- Different dash

- Different drip rails

- Different seat riser

- Different wiper configuration

- I also believe there are minor differences to the floor pan.

The cabs are interchangeable though.

[MarkAubuchon]

Are the cabs the same size for a 1/2 ton the one ton.

Are the cabs the same size for a 1/2 ton the one ton.
