Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Pics of Trucks w/a C60 grille

i love this look also but have a question? if u cut the little mesh part out of a c-10 grille, wouldn't u end up with the same thing? c-60 grilles are kinda hard to find.

The other thing is the c60 grills don't have the stamped chevrolet,they are smooth.

Re: Pics of Trucks w/a C60 grille

ooo I forgot about that part.
I saw an nos one on ebay acoupla months ago that didn't sell for $60.00 shipped... they are out there, and not many want them, the key is to rescue them before they go to the scrapper

You do need to change out the headlight bucket/mount with one from a c10, the mount is different.

I am doing this conversion now on a '66 and here is why you need to change the mounts as they are similar but different. Pics show the C60/80 beside the C10/20/30 grill. The difference is in the legs that mount to the grill support.


The grill shells are exactly the same except for the cosmetic differences. The mounts attach to the grill shell exactly the same way. By swapping mounts the C60/80 grill mounts as it is supposed to on a C10/20/30 and will be at the right angle to get the headlamps in adjustment.

Re: Pics of Trucks w/a C60 grille

I have one I pulled off a bus. I'm glad I saw this thread because I didn't know the headlight backing plates were different. Forum member build "Maggie's Custom" has a chrome C60 grille that you can see on post #444.

Here's a sneak peek of Maggie's. Very nice!

Re: Pics of Trucks w/a C60 grille

I always wondered what the mounts look like, if they were different. That chrome one on Maggie's looks really sweet!
