What cab should I use?

Sorry in advance for no pics, Ever since photobucket got jacked up I dont have a free hosting service anymore.

I have a 68' Longbox that I cut down to a shortbox that I am building for my wife. I also have a true 68' shortbox 4x4 that I am going to cut a longbox bed down to put on it since the original is more work than I care to mess with.

Both are complete frame offs, I have 2 cabs obviously, I have a high hump cab and I have a 2wd low hump cab that is a complete floor (Hump does not bolt in) the top of the cab had gotten caved in before I got it, It was dropped off the trailer after coming back from soda blasting. I had another cab that i grafted the roof onto it to fix the 2wd cab. It has the factory cargo light in it.

My problem is I dont remember seeing many 2wds that have the cargo light in them, I kinda feel like I should use that cab for the 4wd frame and use the other one for the 2wd.

So I guess what I am asking is for pictures or opinions on a cargo light cab on a 2wd truck or was this a 4wd option only? Again I apologize for no pics. I got a couple of neat trucks I am building, but refuse to pay for a hosting service

Re: What cab should I use?

Cargo light was not 2x4 or 4x4 specific. It could have been ordered as a stand alone option or was included in the cst/Cheyenne and Cheyenne super packages. I however would put put it on the 4x4 but that's just me I'm a 4x4 guy.

The 4x4 truck had a high hump from the factory because of the extra room needed for the transfer case. I've seen people here take a low hump cab and cut out to mount a high hump into.

I swapped a 2 wd suburban body onto a 4X4 frame and didn't have a issue with the low hump but I was using a 400turbo & 205 just cut the hole for the t/c shifter
