A 41 1/2 ton military cab is not the same as a 41 1/2 ton civie cab, although they are for the most part swapable (I don't know about the 2-1/2 ton cabs).
The biggest difference is that the military cab has an angled cowl lip where the back of the hood rests. A civie cab is level at this point. Using a civie cab in place of a military cab forces the rear of the hood up a little bit, leaving a noticable gap. The civie cab has holes on the cowl just ahead of the doors for cowl lights. A military cab lacks these. A civie cab has a centrally located crank on the dash to crack the windshield open. A military cab has finger knobs on each windshield pillar and can open completely up. If I recall right, a civie cab has a fuel tank filler spout opening on one of the rear corners, while the military cab has no hole, the fuel tank filler spout being behind the drivers side rear fender.
So, are you trying to put a civie cab onto a military 41 1/2 ton WC?
