Cab swap

I have a chance to buy a cab from a 69 Chevy 60 series fire truck that is rust free. Will the cab fit a 71 GMC 2500 k series truck? What are the differences in cabs? Thanks in advance for any information.

The floorboards are different, it's flatter in the big truck cabs. The firewalls are different too if I remember correctly, which would probably be the biggest challenge.

I'm going to look at it and take pictures so I can compare the two. Thanks for the information.

Yes the doors are different, and the rocker panels are 3 inches shorter it appears
