The 84 cab will work with some mods. The 84 cab has the hood hinge holes in the cowl. You won't use those hood hinges so you can leave the holes open (after removing the hinges) or weld in some patches. The wiper linkage will need to be changed to the older style. Another change will be the wiper switch. You can patch in the piece from your 80 cab to the 84 cab to keep the controls on the dash or adapt the wiring to use the 84 and up column mounted wiper controls.

PLEASE show us some pics of your truck. I have a 1980 Indy Hauler too and if I keep it long enough to restore it, I'll be swapping cabs too!
