Here is a pic of my new cab. Ain't she a beauty? Haha. Little paint and a new wrap it will look good as new.

Yes, F150 cab. The Raptor cab is stronger, but since it is being caged, the stronger cab is not needed. This is a much cheaper way to go. The Raptor cabs are worth more money and we also need all the window parts inside the doors.

Since the two cabs are different we needed a whole cab/doors and will modify the doors so my interior door panels will fit.

I personally asked Jamaal H. if the Raptor cab was the same as the regular F-150's cab. He said they where the same. Now, I've never tore into one like you or outlaw has, and I'm not saying I don't believe you. But there is a conflict of information. I'd be interested in what exactly makes the Raptor cab stronger. I.e. thinker material? more gussets? Perhaps JH didn't want to get into specifics, but dimensionally, outside they are the same? So perhaps he simply said yes they are the same.

Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,

GREAT LAKES RAPTOR EXCURSIONS

Connor told me the Raptor cab has a few more welded in supports and the inner door skins are different. When they built RSV1 they reused Raptor door parts. They had to cut the F150 doors apart and weld all the Raptor window parts in. He said it was a huge PITA and he didn't want to go that route again.

When I am down there and I see the cabs apart I will ask more questions and get an answer for you. Will also take some pics.
