Wasn't guessing, floors are different, they are flat, doors have the front corner missing for the fender clearance.

Aren't the cab corners and lower section of the back panel different also?

Yes, rear of the cab is longer and the corners wrap around to meet it.  There is a pic here somewhere

found it:

I'm not so sure it'd be a direct bolt on but I'm sure you could fabricate something. You'd probably need a body lift to clear the trans but I'm just guessing.

Did they make C60's in 4wd?  Or an equivalent rather?
