cab on new chasis?

anyone heard of anyone putting a slick cab(65-66) on a much newer model chasis? Thinking of putting a cab on a 99 chasis with a 7.3 powerstroke... has anyone attempted this? Biggest issue I think would be the front wheels fitting in the wheel wells and the engine compartment size.

Just thought someone might have already done or tried it.

Thanks for input

it was on tv while back where they were taking a 70 f100 and using a 05 superduty frame and powerstroke way he did it was he was using the 05 firewall and cab floor on the 70 cab

I would love to put a slick body on a super duty chasis. It would require a lot of fab but if the dash could be integrated into the slick cab, then it would be easier. The way I would do it is to custom body mounts incorporating a 2-3 inch body lift to lift up the body. It wouldn't be easy but it would be cool to try
