85 cab swap/ 80 front clip

hello I am new to this site. My first post. Has anyone swapped a 1981-1987 cab and mount it up to a 1979-1980 front clip before thinking about attempting it but not 100% if it fits or not. I will also need to cut floor hump out because currently it is a 2wd cab and I will need to weld in a 4wd hump. Will this work any info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 85 cab swap
