cabs are the same 80-96 but dashes and door panels are different between different model years so you have to also use the doors that match the cabs year range. like a set of 87-91 doors won't work for a 92+ cab unless you switch panels out.

this doesn't really matter if you score a complete cab, but just thought i'd throw it out there in case.
