I wouldn't cut a good 1/2 ton cab to use as donor parts.
Cutting and uniting long sections of body metal is akin to artist level metal sculpting to make it look good.

The COE door is rounded at the bottom and has at least one hinge in a different location on the cowl.

I believe 1941-47 COE cabs may be the same dimensions. Maybe find someone wanting a stretch and do a cab trade.
