i have a question about the c50 cabs and front clips.
are the c50's just a regular 67-72 chevy cab with different fenders, hood, rad support, grill and bumper???
thanks!

I'm pretty sure the cab is different, too. I know the doors are, as well as the dash.

The firewall and front portion of the floor are way different, the doors on most have the front lower corner cut off, and the small back window...while not a big deal, is not right for our trucks (with the exception of the 67 obviously)

longhornman... do all the c50 style trucks have the small back window?
and would the cab have the same mounting points as a regular 67-72

Re: c50 quetsion

Although they share alot of parts and overall dimensions,they are two different birds.Neither share the same frame in any form.The fenders bolt to the cab differently at a lower location on the cab.The doors could be converted to a pickup.They usually survived better on the Medium Duties.
