Re: heavy duty trucks

i have seen people take a cab from a dump truck of the same era and it fit perfectly. i have also seen doors interchange between the large and small trucks so i think there the same.

Re: heavy duty trucks

As far as I know the cabs are different. I was also under the understanding that the doors are different.

Re: heavy duty trucks

They share many pieces,yet are different and will not interchange. Basically,the top,dash,and back panel are the same and everything else is different.

If you put that firewall in a pickup cab you would have a lot more room for a cummins.
