Medium-Duty Dentside cabs

Hey y’all this is my first post on here
I was wondering if anybody knows if there’s a difference in the actual cab size of Dentside F-550s and F-250s. I know that the front fascia is redesigned but would a larger class Dentside front-end fit with a smaller cab?
-Thanks

Firewall, dash and floor are closer to the 67/72 years I believe.

Here are some pics to fuel the fire. I believe they all have the same cab dimensions, between a F100 and F550. Now yes the DASH is different in F550 and up. And yes the complete front clip on the F550 and up is different. Plus the F550 doors have the thumb push button open instead of the lift handle like on 73-79 F100-F350. The guy to ask is Chris, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/member.php?u=517820 He is super nice guy and this is his truck below. And he has a 79 F250 SC.

i know the dash is that of a bumpside, but the instrument cluster is different with more gauges and they are round instead of the horizontal speedo design.
