cab swap question
an oppertunity has presented itself to possibly swap out the cab on either the C-30 or C-60, the problem is im not quite sure if the cab with fit one or the other. its a 73 C-50 or VERY light C-60. i know the 78 C-60 we have has a flat bottom floor compared to the C-30's trans hump and under-the-seat hump. thanks for any info

Re: cab swap question
well you could prolly rig it to fit which would involve cutting out the hump of the pickup ( assuming its good) and welding it into the cab of the c50... but im not sure if its compatible with the mounts or anything else
i know you can alter a 2wd cab to work on a 4wd but never have i done anything like what youre describing

Re: cab swap question
The C50 mounts higher on the truck hence the flat floor. If you try it, you cab will hit the tanks (where the seat hump is) and it will hit the trans.
