I've never done it myself,but have seen many newer cabs put on older R models.You should be safe using up to a mid '80's cab.You shouldn't have to change your hood.Like any changes,there will be some slight adjusting and modifying required

yup, late 80's early 90' will fit. you will have to change the front frame mounts to put a newer cab on as the newer cabs have the trunion mount and the older ones have the flat buscuit mount like a B model. also may have to modify the throttle linkage as the early R models had it bolted to the cab and the newer ones are usually mounted to the back of the engine.
