Hey guys, quick question, a c30 cab fit on a c10 chassis? Im getting a BBW, A/C cab with minimal to no rust, and just want to make sure it will fit alright.Thanks!

It will bolt right on... remember that 60-62, and 63-66 use different front mounts, and require some fab work to interchange.

The rear cab mounts on the C20 & C30 cabs are different than the C10 rear cab mounts, but that is easily addressed.

LIL RED, do i need to change the mounts on the frame then to accomidate the c30 cab? or do the c10 ones work?

The photo shows the factory C20 & C30 rear cab mounts, which are actually factory riveted to the frame, so you can use the C30 cab on your C10, by utilizing the C10 rear cab mount perches, which are also factory riveted to the frame. You will need a new rear cab mount kit. They are available in polyurethane or rubber compound. You can purchase them here:

If you need any help, send me a PM or give me a call and I will help you, otherwise good luck and let us know how things work out.

I really don't think the rear cab mounts will have to be changed. I've got a c-30 parts truck myself and have noticed the different cab mounts as well. As far as I can tell, the way the 2 mounts attach to the cab and frame are identical. the only difference is the c-30 cab mounts have rubber sandwiched between the part that mounts to the frame and the part that mounts to the cab. I'm sure this was in an effort to keep the c-30 trucks from beating the driver and passengers to death due to the massive spring packs in the back of the ton trucks.

you just need to reuse your c/10 rubber bushing for the rear mount.

*LILRED66* · 01-27-2010, 11:32 PM

Reusing rear cab mount rubbers is usually not possible, since they have been flatten over the past 40+ years, so I think you should install new ones, while the process is easy and it helps to maintain the correct height of the body lines of the cab with the bed.
