I have access to a relatively "rust free" cab, hood, doors for a 63 C30. I need some of these parts for my 61 C10. The simple question is, will they fit?
They look similar enough but I have no experience with anything over the C10's.

I couldn't come up with it until I saw his reply. Also, the hood is acceptable on a '60-'61 as a replacement. It's not technically correct, but the later hoods were used as replacements after '62. Oh, and the dashes are the same. There are some differences in instrument panels and slight variations in heater levers, but overall the dashes are the same.

I don't currently have the original cat eye hood anyway so I'm ok with that. Being in Maine, my current doors are pretty rough. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 102 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 102 | Last question on this topic. I promise!
How bout the front fenders? Will they align as well? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 189 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 189 | The front fenders are the same for 60-66 Chevy or GMC Trucks,Suburban or panels 1/2 to 1-ton. | | |
