This was a while back, looks like I followed you right down the same road so to speak, do you have any current pictures of your truck as it sits now?

Thanks for the flip, that was when it was delivered to my place in 2016. I'll try to do a current one, hopefully right Side up.

Did anyone notice the gauge cluster in the original post?
The center gauge opening where the tach would normally go looks like something I would think would be on a 67-68?

Beautiful Truck, nice color too. Is yours a C20, is it an 6 or 8 foot box? I know the rear fenders are different from one to the other. I believe the cutout for the spare is bigger on the C20, and extends farther down on the fender then the short box one. The reason I ask is I have a chance to buy a cut out fender but don't know which size it is. Any hints as how to tell?
I believe I found the answer, the fenders are both the same except the C20 area for the cut out is bigger. Even though the truck box sides are longer, the step is longer, fenders same length. Correct me if I'm wrong, Thanks

It’s a 20 with 8 ft bed .C10 will have a hole in the cut out for spare tire mount support rod the 20s had a different mounting setup. Either will bolt up but the 20 was a larger cutout to accommodate the 16” rims .

Thanks for the information and the pictures, I see that there is a difference in the mounting bracket also. I had a couple of pictures sent to me that may be of interest also, I'll see if I can post them. There's a lot more room on the 20 between the fender and cab, I can see quite a bit of difference in the brackets also.

72c20customcamper · 03-03-2025, 08:14 PM

The top picture is my bed when I was assembling it

72c20customcamper · 03-03-2025, 08:20 PM

You can see the difference in the cutout on my truck it takes out the body line whereas the C10 body line is still in tact

Sorry for high jacking the thread
