40-60 Series Cabs vs. 10-30 series...

Back in the late '70's I helped a neighbor who owned a concrete company light a fire
in his '67 C-50 dump truck. Stock it had a 283,(with a governor no less), and didn't
have the power to get out of it's own way. Picked up a 427 from a wrecked Corvette
complete with an aluminum hi-rise and worked-on open chamber heads and bolted it
right up to the stock 4-spd. and 16" clutch! Amazingly a set of Hooker fender-well
headers fit like they were made for it and thus my neighbor had one of the baddest
dump trucks to ever haul a load of gravel. Neat thing is, after removing the grill, grill-
support and radiator, the engine was right there making it one of the easiest motor-
swaps I have ever done,(didn't even have to remove the hood).
