Will 1988 ford F-150 cab fit on 1984 F-250 frame?

It's *highly unlikely* a 1988 Ford F-150 cab will fit directly onto a 1984 F-250 frame without significant modifications. While both are Ford trucks and from a similar era, there are key differences:

* Frame Dimensions: F-250 frames are generally wider and heavier-duty than F-150 frames to support the greater payload capacity. The cab mounting points and the frame's overall dimensions likely won't align.

* Body Mounts: The locations and types of body mounts (the points where the cab attaches to the frame) will almost certainly be different.

* Steering and Suspension: While some components might be interchangeable, the steering and suspension geometry will likely be incompatible, requiring extensive modifications.

You'd be looking at a major fabrication project involving cutting, welding, and potentially custom-building parts to make this work. It's not a simple bolt-on swap. It's far more feasible to use a 1988 F-150 frame or to find a suitable 1984 F-250 cab.
