Default 1500 gas to 2500 diesel quad cab swap

I have a 2001 dodge ram 2500 with cummins that has a damaged roof, I also have 1999 ram 1500 gas as a parts car with good cab. Both cabs are quads.
My question is if i can swap them and if everything will bolt right in. All the wiring and everything else will be pulled off the original cab.

Thanks.


Edit 4/21/11
I completed my project successfully few week ago and now a proud owner of cummins truck. Still working on full write up and editing pictures. Here is some pics of taking it apart in preparation for swap: http://s1028.photobucket.com/albums/...inhouston/ram/

more to come...
