Interchangeable parts from C50? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What parts if any will work on our trucks?
Thanks

To my recollection...everything in the cab...including the doors.
The dash bezel won't fit without modification but most gauges are re-usable and common.

I actually found a perfect steering wheel in one.

Going to look at one now buying for the doors and a few other stuff I' am going to part out the rest. Not sure how I'm going to go about fixing the corners of the doors though.
Thanks

I have swapped numerous tach dashes from big gas trucks into c10s. Diesel tachs are different though. Not sure about the comment above.

**BlueBullet** · 01-24-2015, 06:52 PM

does anybody know if the cab itself is the same if not what the differences are? Can it be modified to work?

**DaHos** · 01-24-2015, 07:51 PM

Entire firewall/cowl area down to the rockers is different, there is no lower "A" pillar , the front floor section and kick panels are also different. .....

The column mount and pedal box is different and some of the heater box is slightly different.

Friend of mine and I put a complete floor out of a C-50 in his 4x4. Just had to make a couple of modifications to the front corners and the hump area where it meets the toe board. Here is the thread on it:

They are usually in good shape.
