C60 Cab

Was at wrecking yard looking at this C60 they had am wondering if anyone has ever used a C60 cab on a street truck ie: lowrider? They have a flat floor, the firewall has a large concave that would allow a ton of engine setback and they have a small back window like the 67. Looks like pickup front sheetmetal would fit.

Re: C60 Cab

My biggest concern would be fitting you tranny. Considering you place your engine far backwards, slamming it and having no transmission tunnel.

I do am very curious if these cabs have ever been a replacement.

Re: C60 Cab

The firewall is way different. The cab actually sits forward and up higher off the rails. Depending on which front end none of pickup the sheet metal fits.

I've thought about doing a low rider with mine, but I would cut out the floor and channel the body over the rails.
