Need Help!! Cab questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought a 71 chevy truck yesterday, long bed. It is my first truck this style. My uncle has a nice cab from a 68 or 69. But I think that this cab is off of a dump truck or something. The options tag on glove box says that it came with a 366, 5 speed man., and a 6.50 rear gear ratio. It has some PTO stuff still attached to the dash. My question is, will this work on my 71 1/2ton 2 wheel drive truck?? Seems like the 68/9 cab has a flatter floor in it, and the firewall sinks back about 1 1/2" more behind the motor. Also this cab is rounded on the toe board for, what seems like, the wheels. The regular cab isn't like this. Do you think that it will bolt up the same??
