Re: DOIN THE C50 Conversion
I am glad to see someone is trying this. A year or two ago I suggested using the C50 or 60 front end on a C10. Drew no interest. The large wheel openings are perfect for large diameter bling if you like that sort of thing.

Re: DOIN THE C50 Conversion
Man that box truck looks just like one I saw a few years ago in Poth, TX. It was parked near an old antique shop behind a barn. Looks like a cool project!
