i would think that would be a bit big for anything other than the c-60 or bigger if u get one from a c-60. yeah they look beefy but they are huge i had to help take one off here in nc to get my motor out of a c-60 24ft box truck

There is a junkyard down in Eloy, right off the 10 at sunland gin rd, I think I saw one or two in there, along with a bunch of squares. Imma head down there to find a bed for my 73 pretty soon. I'll let you know if they have one.

maybe if it was done right. with a proper lift, good parts it wouldn’t look so bad

Well that guy slapped it together. That "lift" is 2 frames stacked on top of eachother. The fenders is what I was focused on. They look good.

     The c60 front clip is wider than the truck, how can that look good ?

Bake.... I thought the c50-60 cabs are the same as the same as the c10-30 cabs except for the flat floor. So why would the front clip be wider?

That unit was very poorly done. I've seen this swap look pretty cool.

I have seen a non tilt nose C50 front end on a dually regular cab with a 12 inch suspension, and 3 inch body lift, It had 6 60" tall tractor tires under it. It was cool looking.
