I am looking to build a Milwaukee Road GP20M and was looking to see if there were any cab kits out there so that I can finish off the cab when I chop the nose.

AFAIK, no cab kits. It also depends which version you are building.
RMC or MR had an article on building a Milwaukee SD10 which would use the same type of cab as some GP20Ms. The other one looks more like the WM Chop-nose jobs
This piece will help:

I've used a few of them, combining them with Atlas SD24 cabs (they were out of SD26 cabs) to make cabs for some chop-nose GPs...

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

I'm building the numberboard nose version. I had also read that a Cannon thin wall cab kit would work, and I ordered one tonight. I will check out the DPH one as well.

the DPH one isn't an actual cab, it's just a filler piece that is supposed to be spliced into a cab.
You can see where I combined one with an Atlas SD24 cab:

Reminds me, I need to get back to this project

Yeah I only needed the front but had already bought the cannon kit for it before I saw your post. I'll pick up the DPS one just incase I dont like the Cannon one.
Very nice build BTW.
