This article is really an online book which I have found to be most useful and interesting with regard to AC B and C tractors - you might find the comparison of parts in Chapter 7 of help.

Eldon's right on the money. The C narrow front uses a gear box with a reverse twist on the worm gear because the steering arm goes up instead of down like the wide front uses.

You also are going to run into a problem with the front steering mount. It's very different for a narrow front. I know a guy in WA that's looking to restore a C to narrow front and has the wide front setup. He has the front axels but needs the radiator mount/axel support for the narrow, he has the wide front style. I'll hook you up and you two can swap parts for the freight, if you're interested.

I'm sure they will bolt right up....but to make it look decent I would put on a B stearing gearbox...otherwise the stearing rod won't be straight or it will stear backwards.

You will need the plate that bolts to the front of the engine, the steering box, & draglink off the B & everything will bolt right on. Helped one friend do a CA that way, & just helped another friend adapt a C wide front to a B. The only thing that was not strictly bolt-on for the B was triming the radiator shroud to clear the front gearbox.
