My question is do I need (or should I use) the C60 cab or can I use the suburban cab. Is the C60 front fenders different enough that I need the C60 cab or can I get away with the suburban as my cab base.

I've located a few 67-70 C60s but I'm wondering do I really need anything more than just a front clip, not the complete truck.

Mick, you could just use the C60 nose and the Burb as your cab base.. but like Kevin says, there are a number of little brackets you should get along with the front clip...
To make things easier for me I plan to use the entire firewall and lower A pillars out of my C60 and put it on the burb.
