Default Ford and Chevy CMP cabin parts interchangabilty

Hi Dave,

I am fairly certain the doors are interchangeable but cannot vouch for the other items.

Thing to keep in mind, however, is authenticity. If you are not concerned with that, and you are only concerned with closing in a cab then Ford cabin parts on Chevy CMP trucks may do the job.

Designs are different for the Ford and Chevy doors and roofs. Ford doors have embossed stiffening on the inside of the doors which meet at a circle. On the Chevy doors they meet at a point.
The Ford roofs have two grab handles at the roof hatch while the Chevy has a single grab rail. The roof hatches are also different designs. The internal stiffening is also different between the two roof types.

Perhaps someone else can advise if the bolt patterns are the same between the two differeent type roof sections. I haven't tried to put Chevy parts on my Ford.

Have attached photos of the Ford inside door embossed stiffening meeting at a circle, the two roof grab handles, and a photo of a Ford Windscreen frame. Perhaps the hole spacing on the frame will help you determine if a Ford windscreen will fit a Chevy.

Cheers,
