C-40 and C-50
Ok,so I know these trucks were heavy duty and used mostly by highway depts.,but I need some info....
Does anyone know if the cabs on the C-40 and C-50 is the same as the C-10 C-20 and C-30 ????? The reason I'm asking is I may have found one I can use if the asking price is right. I havent had time to study it too closely, but the only difference I can see is the forward bottom corner of the door is cut off at a 45 degree angle to accomodate the different front clip.The outer rocker panels are contoured the same but look like originals would weld right in place.Other than that and the front clip being beefier, I can see nothing that would hinder me from using this as a replacement for my C-20 cab. Anyone have any knowledge of other differences I may be overlooking?

Re: C-40 and C-50
No,not really.The firewall/floor area is different.The hood and fenders mount differently.Take a closer look at any medium duty and you`ll see what I`m saying.The steering column comes through the firewall lower.
They share a large amount of sheet metal,but not the same.

Re: C-40 and C-50
Thanks special-k..I noticed the heater box wasn't the same but figured the sheetmetal behind it would be. Also,I didn't think of steering column location either.It's a shame,it looked fairly solid except for a few small holes (pencil point size) in the floor near the rocker.Thanks for the reply.
