The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 1968 C50 Fenders

Does anybody know if the fenders on a C50 are the same as a C60?

Hy pipeliner78, welcome, I haven't looked in my parts book to be sure, but the width of the fenders is based on the front axle weight capacity 7000 lbs. is narow fenders and 9000 lbs. is wide fenders. Curiously all the school buses I have seen with that front end style have wide fenders.

Thanks 3B. I'm not sure about the front gvw but the total is 19,500, and it only uses five lugs on the front. I think they must be narrow.

It sounds like you have the Narrow Fenders, but it is easy to tell just by comparing. Research some pictures online. We may have some good examples in the Gallery.
