what are the differences between cabs from 72-80 and 81 up? i know the body lines on the fenders are different,i think. have a couple good cabs for 81 up but 72-80 trucks are expensive if you find a decent one. thanks in advance

I think it's in the roof line for the most part (except for club cabs, I think they're the same)

the area where the bulkhead connector goes thru the firewall is a different shape. Nothing that can't be dealt with.
and it can depend on whether you're working on a 2WD or 4WD...some 2WD trans tunnels aren't as high as a 4WD.

The roof line is rounded on on the older ones and went more squared off for 1981. Crew cab and I think extended cab kept the old roof.

What W.I.N. said. I think even the cab mount locations are slightly different.
