Cab differences?

[pa.rich]

From the firewall back, are there differences in the cabs on M35A's versus a five ton M52?Such as windows, doors ,wind screens, roofs, seats, etc.? Anyone have both to compare. The reason I ask is to obtain parts, one may be more available than the other. Interchangeable?

They are interchangeable - although during the course of production various minor changes were made.

Best wishes,

My M-54A1
Has the same cab,doors and windshield as the M-35. I just replaced my inner windshield with one for a m-35 ( also same for M-37 ). the steering wheel is the same on both 35/54).
I'm currently looking for a good M-35 hardtop for my 5 ton

Remember that the gassers had a few extra dimples in the firewall for starter linkage that the newer ones don't have.

And a lot of the replacement cabs have a dimple on the outside rear corner about 6 inches up from the bottom...some cabs were made with pedal holes in the right side for export or driver training or ??? Also, the dash panels differ with tachs on the MF and none on the gasser deuce.. choke hole.. foot starter switch hole, and probably more I can't recall at this time....but for the most part all the M44, M54, M800 and M123 cabs are interchangeable...especially if you have a OMS....ACE

ACE brings up a good point with the dashes being different between gassers and multis. There is a support bracket that goes from the firewall to the bottom of the dash under the steering coumn. These are also different. You can notch it or get one from a multi if yer doing a swap.
