This is one of my favorite things to do to any 60-66. I've put one on many trucks in the past.Here are a few pics of mine and others I have seen. Jack

i love this look also but have a question? if u cut the little mesh part out of a c-10 grille, wouldn't u end up with the same thing? c-60 grilles are kinda hard to find.

The other thing is the c60 grills don't have the stamped chevrolet,they are smooth.

ooo I forgot about that part.
I saw an nos one on ebay acoupla months ago that didn't sell for $60.00 shipped... they are out there, and not many want them, the key is to rescue them before they go to the scrapper

You do need to change out the headlight bucket/mount with one from a c10, the mount is different.

I am doing this conversion now on a '66 and here is why you need to change the mounts as they are similar but different. Pics show the C60/80 beside the C10/20/30 grill. The difference is in the legs that mount to the grill support.

The grill shells are exactly the same except for the cosmetic differences. The mounts attach to the grill shell exactly the same way. By swapping mounts the C60/80 grill mounts as it is supposed to on a C10/20/30 and will be at the right angle to get the headlamps in adjustment.

I have one I pulled off a bus. I'm glad I saw this thread because I didn't know the headlight backing plates were different. Forum member build "Maggie's Custom" has a chrome C60 grille that you can see on post #444.

Here's a sneak peek of Maggie's. Very nice!

I always wondered what the mounts look like, if they were different. That chrome one on Maggie's looks really sweet!
