    I’m redoing a mid 60s Chevy c-10 for my father-in-law. The hood is pretty bad so I’ve been on the hunt for a different one . Today I was told that a c-30 or c-60 hood would fit and are the same hood . Is this correct? I was under the impression they were bigger but I could be wrong. If so I’ve walked by a few this week.

    I have the chevy truck parts book...from 1969....let's see what it says

    Oh, it says they're all the same, 63-66, except for LCF (that's cabover) models.

    Sheet metal is the same the trim will be different.
    There are repop hoods and repair panels available for them also.

    The fenders flare out wider by several inches on the 1-1/2 ton and larger trucks but the hoods stayed the same.
    The hot lick in the 70's through 80's was to replace a 60/62 hood with a 63/65 hood and that ate up a bunch of them before guys started loving the ugly ones.

    I snagged a good one from a school bus. The gmc will have cat eye parking lights.
