Are the m813 cab and the m35a2 cab the same or can they be used / swapped from one model to the other with minor mods? I have a lead on a good m35a2 cab but was wondering if it will fit on my m813 five ton truck and what I would have to change or modify to make it work?

Thank you for this info, I found a company out of Tulare that will aid in the proper ppw and forms to fill out.
