Re: AD vs. TF Chassis Mounting Points
All 49/55.1 Chevy conventional cab mounts are the same as far as your needs go.
47/48 had a cab mount in the center of the rear of the cab rather than the shackles on the frame lke 49 and later did.
All 3000 series front sheet metal is the same as far as 3100, 3600 and 3800 trucks go.
Big truck ones that have the heavy ribbed bumper = 4000 series and up have the same cab but the front end sheet metal is all different. A lot of guys and especially those doing frame swaps snag cabs off those trucks though. Especially in grain crop areas they only got used a couple of months a year and stuck in a shed for the rest of the year but after the engines gave out or just as often after the truck became obsolete because they were using larger trucks to haul the crop they got parked and forgotten.
For your purposes the cab and nose work if they are in great shape.
