andy r 08-23-2012 21:18:06 75.91.151.236 Report to Moderator	I need some cab interior parts for my 1979 GMC 7000 grain truck. What years and model numbers of Chevrolet and GMC would be similar? Things I need are dash board cover, flooring, instrument cluster, radio, and some other simple things to improve the cab. Are pickup cabs the same? Thanks. [Reply]   [No Email]

Most all interior parts from 1/2, 3/4, 1T will cross with no problems. Cab / firewall, floorboard will vary some IMO. I have seen Crew cabs interchanged for regulars, saw a Limo set-up used a Suburban as the base of the build. I am just not sure if the Firewall is the same or will have to be changes. I would say Yes the cabs are the same with minor differences in places. Hope this helps. Later, John A. [Reply]  [No Email]

Things such as dash pads were nicer in the pickups, padded instead of a kind of hard cardboard. Seats, doors, most everything except the floor pan was the same. Parts for a 1979 7000 would match the 1973 to 1980 pickups. In 1981 the dash pad was changed in both pickups and mediums, these were used until 1987 in the pickups and I believe 1990 in the mediums. I've used a lot of pickup parts in my medium duty Chevys. The dash fascia (around the gauges) was a bit different, i.e. manual choke, warning lights, etc. [Reply]  [No Email]
