C60 nose job on a square body?

So if I'm able to locate a 70s C60 front end it would probably be steel, and not fiberglass?

If you find a 70's model medium duty with a steel hood, it will likely be fairly rusty. This body style of truck is getting pretty scarce in rust free condition, at least around here. The fenders seemed to rust out really bad, as well as along the bottom of the hood. To put on adapters and 22.5 or 24 inch rims like you're talking about, would probably require a fair amount of modifications to bring the wheels out to the edge of the fenderwell opening. Otherwise I'm thinking that the tires would hit the inner fenders and greatly diminish its ability to turn sharp, and it would look strange too.

Major outer differences in firberglass tilt hoods vs. conventional. The orange C70 has the tilt hood, and has a small fender that fills the space between the edge of the hood and the door. The green C60 has the conventional steel hood which consists of the hood, a small lower fender on each side that stop just below the arch of the fender, and the fenderwell radiator support assembly. The fenders have seams in the front, but I think that the fenders, lower panel, and radiator support are considered to be one-piece. You might be able to dissassemble those parts I don't know. BTW that is factory paint on the orange truck.
