As long as they are the same type of cab, everything should line up on the frame. The cab on the truck's have been the same since basically 1980 if I'm not mistake. They just changed what everything around and in the cab looked like. The only thing I would double check is mounting the 1988 interior in a 1995 cab. Not sure if that can be done without modification.

Thanks Evan.
My plan is to take the entire cab, fenders, and interior as a whole and swap it.
I know this was possible on the late 70's trucks, and I am curious if it is the same on these.

No. you can put a 1980 cab and nose on a 96 and vise verse with no "tweaking"

I have done such a swap, I have a 95 on a 82 frame,the only differance is in the way the bumper mounts to the front.You`ll need to ad the bracket mounted to the frame to accept the bumper, I think I used the bracket off a 87-91..
