Dash interchange between Bump/Dent side?

Does anybody know if the width of the cabs between bump sides and dent sides are the same? Could the dash of a Bumpside be installed in a dent side cleanly?

I prefer the dent side body and own two of them. If I were to want to do a custom gauge dash, the dent dash doesn't lend itself well, where the Bumpside dash has some cool replacement panels to mount gauges into. I've also thought about the heavy duty truck dash. I haven't been able to see any of those for sale in a couple days of looking.

If you can source a 1975 f500 cab it is the same cab as the 73-79 but has the 67-72 bump dash face in it already

Cab is the same 1973/77 F500 & 1973/79 F600/880. No F500's after 1977.

Beginning in 1970, F100/350 instrument clusters use printed circuit boards, different types: with or without oil/amp gauges.

F600/880's have printed circuit boards beginning in 1978.
