as mentioned before here are the big differences:
trans hump is lower on a 300 and up series
column hole in floor is different configuration and location
Not mentioned:
the column mount that the dash and column bolt to is in-board about 2 full inches on a 300 as opposed to a 100/200.
outside of the subtle differences the swap is doable but you need to measure twice and cut once.
though not by choice i put a 300 cab on this truck:
