    it is the same style cab. it came off the same year truck just
    that it is a 2wd. but it seems like the 2 back acb mounts are not matching up within the same depth range as the 4 front ones.

    The cabs will be the same but the mounts on the frame are different from 2WD to 4WD.

    In the cab change the 4wd cabs have a larger hump in the middle for the transfercase. I put a 84 model cab on an 77 frame and you have to have a 2 inch body lift and the back mounts are different just build a 1 and a 1/2 inch more spacer and everything lines up fine.
    Hope that helps you.:D :D
