Yes. What year is the donor cab? If its an 80-96, cabs will bolt to the frame. 87+ cabs are more work to fit together.

Correct. They all used the same cab, regardless of what weight the truck was rated for. One thing you will need to pay attention to is the VIN tag on the cab. If you are putting a 1/2 ton cab on a 3/4 ton truck. I'm not sure if you can stick the 250 tag on the donor cab.

Yes, the titling might be a problem (ask your local DMV what the process is) but the bodies are the same.
