Edited from original post, 2002 1500 and 2003 2500 are both gen 3 (fyi 2002 2500 is Gen 2). I am not sure how much difference there was between them, perhaps a auto recycling entity could assist more.

Same cab (as long as it is RC to RC or QC to QC) but significant wiring differences. If you'd rather have an 03 cab (QC) I have a whole truck available lol.
