Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
I have never seen a Steel Conventional with the larger rectangular lamps, unless that is some odd European thing, I think it's a nicely done custom setup.
This is the only factory dual lamp setup that I know of, on C60/C70 Kodiak/TopKick (92 BBC) chassis trucks: UPNADM, if you want to try a dealer the part number for the chrome Chevrolet grille is 02001142.

Thanks for the number, tried it locally and appears to be no stock/unavailable.

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
Keep an eye on eBay, sometimes I see NOS medium duty truck parts pop up, and often the prices are reasonable, not sure the shipping would cheap, but it may be worth a look.

Mike Losh who's here on the forum is going to be there with his truck Square Peg, and I've heard of a couple other forum memebers are going to be there. I've heard it's a one of a kind show. Would love to go no doubt!

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
Wow.....that would make a great project. Living in the rust belt myself I'm really jealous of all the rust free trucks in the south west

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
As previously mentioned, I am pulling my Son's school Christmas Float in the Santa Clause Parade. With that in mind, I had to get a hitch for the truck. My cousin was kind enough to give me a hand to fab up a new hitch.
He filled, welded and smoothed my hitch as well as a hole that was previously in the bumper. Looks great!

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
A little grinding and some paint, and a great finished product!
Now to put the bumper back together...

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
Our local parade was today.
The C50 was able to pull my son's float, and add to the theme of "Toyland". A first place float for Queen Victoria Public School. I did not have the only eye catching square in the parade... check out the photos.

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
Just got another quick question. What size are the wheels and tires on your truck?
