Hanno if you count the wheel studs I think it could be a C8
for a chev collector it would good one to restore Max |

Seems you´re right, I had not noticed the six wheel studs yet - the chassis model C15441 on the data plate had me fooled. Could this be one of those C8AX´s imported from new Zealand into Australia after the war? It being a C8AX should also explain the Canadian-built cab. Interesting stuff you guys have down there!

How do you explain "chassis model C15441" on the data plate? Sorry for asking silly questions, but Chev´s are not my strong point. . . H. |

Who can explain Chev reasoning? It's a mystery why they (or DND perhaps?) would rate the C8AX as a 15cwt. Perhaps some HUP/HUW owners could share what their plates state. The real clue is the Chassis Serial, with 8448 ID'ing the C8AX. |
Chevrolet MB-C1, ending soon
So far no bids at A$18, someone should scoop it at that price.
I can't either print a reproduction or mail it anywhere (not even down the street) for that price. |

Is it like the GMC, Military rated at 2.5 ton, but on road, a 5 tonner.
The C8AX is an 8cwt, but would easily carry 15cwt on the road. Maybe the reasoning is lost, like why do Japanese cars have 7/16 UNF threads, for seatbelt anchor points? |
There is another New Zealand c8ax on ebay item 200388393810
Located at Nanango in Queensland starting price $3500 pictures show it is missing rims(dont know if they are supplied):confused |

Wasn't this the one...
which was in a recent clearing sale?
http://mapleleafup.org/forums/attach...2&d=1255178451 It certainly didn't look like it had hit a bridge before being sold at the clearing sale. Possibly the wheels were removed to lower it after hitting something while being transporting it on the back of the truck. What a shame. |

Ohh
Yes I think you're right. Somehow I had missed it. These C8AX vehicles are as common as anything here now. :cheers:
Does anyone know what happened to this one? http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/at...5&d=1253305717 |
Jesus, $3000 for a C60L at a clearing sale!

That's a savage bit of rust in an unusual place in the brow of the cab. Looks like there's a fair bit of interest in it. I think the roof hatch is the same as used on the Ford cab 12 here - they were made by an outside supplier for Ford and Dodge. |

Item No 260504998841
A bit of a rarity Downunder. Would this have seen Aust service (RAAF? AWC?) or is it more likely to be a US left-behind? |
COE trucks
Yes, I believe so. These were quite common here in Queensland with local councils in the 50's and early 60's.
