C50 Project

This may not be the right forum for this, but I did not find a 1968 thread....

I just purchased a 1968 C50. It was originally a Fire truck which someone made a diamond steel bed for. I want to get creative with it but not sure what resources I can get a hold of to get parts etc.

Does anyone know much about these vehicles?

I want to put Air Ride seats in it.
Would like to modernize the dash.
Auto locks and windows, etc...

Thanks for any advice or help.

Re: C50 Project

Funny, but this actually happens quite a bit. Someone posts his first post, creates an interest, then disappears, never to be heard from again. Oh well.

Yeah and it is a bummer too, I wanted to ask about those high mounted spot lights, and the wheels/tires on that rig.
