Any reason to Not use a C60 cab? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I see a 72 c60 cab for sale. Any good reason that it wouldn’t be fine to put on a standard 10 or 20 size chassis? It has a small back window like a 67– never noticed that before.
Thanks Greg

The whole floor and cowl area are different. The front sheet metal mounts will be wrong, the front corner of the door opening is cut off. the floor pan is made to sit on the large straight frames

A friend of mine and I put a complete C50 floor in his K10 a few years ago. We had to modify the front floor where the pinch weld is but it was pretty easy.

I also have a pair of C50 doors on one of my extra C10 cabs.

I can guarantee the floor pans are the same except for the front corners and where the trans hump meets the front toe board, and those areas aren't that hard to massage....

Here is the thread where we put the C50 floor pan in the K10:

Here is a thread on some of the firewall area differences in the C50 and C10/20....
