What model is the 83? (LN65 etc?) Think you'll find the later model extra cabs will be different mainly through the front panel - raditor support panel. But not 100% sure. All the later 90's model extra cabs are independent front end. so i believe the chassis is different (mainly in the front section) therefore body mount different.
Anyway i sure someone else has been there or thought about doing something similar

It can be done but what exaclty is involved I'm not sure, I have seen a early/mid 90s extra cab on a LN65 chassis

LN65 is a diesel the same shape as an 84 model
RN65 is a petrol the same shape as an 84 model
LN46 is a diesel of the early shape (up to 83 model)
RN46 is a petrol of the early shape (up to 83 model)
