Is there any difference between a C10 cab and a C30 cab? Also, is there any difference between a 2wd and 4x4 cab, other than the removable hump?

other than the vin being for a 1 ton there are no body diiferences thta i know of someone else might chime in

C30's have embosements on the roof for each clearance light.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-18-2010, 11:30 PM

Other than the high hump, I think they are the same. (Other like the cab lights like already mentioned) But there is a difference in a small block and big block firewall too just an FYI.

I believe cab lights were optional and not on every one ton. Diesel what are yhe big block differences? As far as I know there are no differences in the 1/2 ton and one ton. There of course are differences in years.

Big Block firewalls have indentations for the valve covers/back of the engine. They basically gave clearance for these things to fit in.

I was just looking at pics of my Longhorn, and I can't tell any differences in it's firewall. Maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully someone will chime in that knows for sure.

No difference for that as far as i know. The big blocks had plenty of room in the correct location.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-19-2010, 12:30 AM

Ok, Thanks Eric. I'd edit my posts, but then no one could see there isn't a difference. So I'll leave it alone.

Only 69-72 dual rear C/30s had the special clearance lamp roof panel.The lamps weren't required on single rear trucks because they were rated under 10,000 GVW and were standard width.

I bought a cab from a 72 C30 that I am going to put on my 70 C10, and I don't want any surprises when I go to make the swap. Does anybody know approximately how long it would take to pull a cab, transfer the doors, cowl, external heater box/blower motor, and the column, gauge panel/switches, wiring harness? I was thinking I could get it done over a 3-day weekend. Am I nuts?

If you're a really good wrench and have a helper you could probably do it in 3 days or less....if you're by yourself and you've never hung a set of doors ...3 weeks

**70STOVEBOLT** · 11-19-2010, 05:50 PM

I'll have lots of helpers! Probably at least 12 each day!!

**special-K** · 11-19-2010, 05:54 PM

12 people or 12 beers?

It's doable in a 3 day weekend.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 11-20-2010, 11:53 AM

12 beers!! I have decided to wait until spring. With my luck, I would get the new cab on and then wreck the truck this winter.
