1956 F100 vrs F600 in physical cab size

I have had (3) 1956 F100 and the cab on the 1956 F600 looks like the same physical size as the F100's - are they?

It is my understanding the cabs are the same on the different series trucks but the fender wheel well openings are larger on the big truck.

The cabs should be the same, the floor opening on the F600 maybe a little bigger.

My old man got a grill off a PU for his '58 F600, so must be the same size....

The actual cab is the same for all of the f series of the same year all the way up to 79. In 80, Ford redesigned the cab mounts for the larger trucks so the PU cab wouldn't fit.
