Dash swap??

Hey guys,
Im picking up an 83 cab for my 80 gmc I know there is a few differences in them to swap the older style front sheet metal on but is there anything i need to do to the dash so i can run the 1980 dash? will I have to drill spot welds and use the steel dash from the 1980? Or are the dashes the same?
any help would be great.

Re: Dash swap??

Dashes are different but I don't know that I would go to all the work to switch it out.
