Difference between C10 and C20 Cabs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

4tiresngas · 08-22-2005, 02:34 AM

I have a 69 C10 SWB (no AC). I am looking at buying a 72 AC Cab, but it came off a C20. I'd like to be able to just get the cab done without tearing down my truck right now. Is there a difference in the C10 and C20 cabs, or is that simply the difference in frames/suspension. Any help is appreciated.

The cabs are the same.

The C-20 uses the same rear cushions as the K-10, K-20 but it is because the cab support brackets are mounted lower on the frame. With the brackets mounted lower on the frame the C-20 and the 4x4's needs a taller cushion for the rear of the cab. The front cushions are the same for the C-10, C-20. Since you are mounting the cab on a C-10 frame you will need the C-10 cushions and it will work with no modifications.

Okay, I feel a little better about it now. So, the C10-C20 difference is really in the suspension/frame. ECE tech line said the cabs are interchangeable as well.
