Cab for sale on ebay - not mine

Found this in case anyone is interested. Off a 2 ton truck, but it looks the same as a 1/2-3/4 ton too.

I have this thought way back in my mind that anything over 1 ton had a different orientation for the steering column. Maybe it was just a bigger drop down on the column but I thought it was also a different location where it passed through the firewall. Anyone???

The column does in fact hang lower, but I am unsure about the fire wall part.
Also, look at the very bottom front corner of the door;

It is cut off, I do not know if the cab floor or rocker is modified for this, but I would imagine so.

Arent the doors that same? I thought I heard someone say that at one time. They would share some other components too.

The cab floor is also altered for the tire clearances on both sides.
