That is great news. I'm going to be swapping my 68 C50 cab onto an 89 C60 frame, that will get me better gears, 2 sped rear, power steering and 4 wheel disk hydro-boost brakes. I had done some initial measurements and thought it looked like it was going to fit but I was afraid t was too good to be true. I've about decided to go with the 366 that is in the 89 rather than keeping the 327 and having to fab up all of the brackets. One problem with that is my 89 has a huge radiator so I was wondering if you swapped rads and if so did you have much trouble with that? Also, how much fab work was involved in mounting the air brake controller (?? Don't know what to call it) to the firewall?
