53-55 cabs are the same, the 56 has the wrap around windshield, other than that all the sheet metal is the same, so are the frames but 55 and 56 have longer springs on the back, There should be plenty of available cabs out west I would think.

If you decide to replace the cab I have a 54 cab here in San Diego that might work for you.
