49 cab

Can someone tell me if a 49 f1 cab will fit a 49 f4 or f5?
I found an f1 with a rusty cab and an f4 or f5 with a good cab.
Just wondering about cab sizes. I know the frames are wider on the larger trucks.
What about the other dimensions?

Cabs are the same from F1-F8. Cabs are different in the COEs.

Cabs are the same.

Front and rear fenders are different. Bed is different. Running boards are different.

Wheel base on F1 is 8 inches shorter. Suspension and frame cross members are bulkier on the F2+. Wheels and brakes are different.

If you have specific questions, just ask. I have the specs for all. See my "Salemans Handbook" gallery.
