Firstly, if this should go into the body shop section, then please move it there. I'm posting here because although my cab supports are rotten, I'm asking if they're different for a big bolt versus a C10-30. I'm unsure how those intersect, so here goes..
My bus has the Chevy front clip, and width wise it's the same as a C10-the hood is even the same as I bought a new one and it fit fine. Since it's a bus front clip, the GM part ends at the cowl behind the flip up vent, and the Carpenter bus coach begins. Right now, that sturdy and remarkably rust free Carpenter coach is essentially holding my Chevy front clip onto the frame, as the supports pictured below are probably not doing much anymore. My hypothesis that the GM part of the floor pan is similar or the same as say, a C30. Classic Industries shows these front cab supports and they're even cheap. Their part number is T70319, L or R front cab support 60-66. I'm hoping this repop is the same, or at least close enough that I can make it work.There's also some substantial rot on the floorboards and inner cowl panels and frankly, after seeing all the heroic rebuilds of this area by other 'Bolters, I'm a little nervous to tear into it. I would actually like to drive this rig again someday
So the floorboards and firewall are pretty straightforward and flat, with the rust not going up enough to encroach on pedal areas, etc. and I could probably make/weld those. For the things I can't fabricate myself, I'm wondering how close the Big Bolt front clip is to its lighter duty C30 siblings. Also, not gonna be a show truck so it doesn't have to be Concourse correct. It's gonna be used as an RV. Just, you know, looking to remove some ankle ventilation.
