Can my m35a2 cab be swapped for m35a3?

[TAZZJR]

Hello all,

I'm new to the deuce and a half world and trying to learn as much as I can.

My question is this. What do I need to do to modify a m35a3 cab to fit on to my m35a2.

I know i need to cut a hole for the stick shift to come through the floor, but is there any clearince issues with the standard trany I need to be worried about?

Why am I even doing this? My m35a2 is an old salt truck that runs great but the body is in pitiful shape. My welder says it's to far gone to cut out and patch the rust holes and I care to much to even touch the truck with bondo.I got a deal I couldn't pass up on all the body parts for a m35a3. I plan on lifting and moving both cabs with a forklift. Paint and T.L.C. is all she will lack from being in perfect condition in my opinion.

Thank you for all the support and grief for even suggesting this stupid idea

It is the same cab , transmission tunnel unbolts just switch them.
If you can grab the dual maters cylinder and related parts for the split brake system on the A3 it is desired upgrade.
Here is a link to the TM's;

Thank you,

All that was left of the a3 was the cab, the frame, and a few rockwells in various levels of disassembly.

I have looked for the TMs, this helps.

Double check for the clutch brake pedal cast assy. It looks like part of the frame.
