Technically a C15A, because it's 4x4. However I see you've installed a late production heavy duty front axle, which along with the 20" wheels makes it a Chev version of the F22, so perhaps C22 would be more appropriate. It's a non-official designation, but so is F22. Are you running a 2 speed transfer case?

Anyway it's a fabulous looking truck, I really like the 2C1 body with the big wheels, and you've done a fine job on the restoration. Any reason for keeping the bracket under the front bumper? I think it detracts a bit myself.

Diegoarielb,

I see you have still used the HUP axles with the 6 stud hubs. How or where did tou get the 20" wheels to suit the 6 stud hubs?

Nice conversion.

Regards Rick.

Well spotted Rick, I didn't even notice. I only looked at the steering end but I realize now I'm seeing the tie rod end underneath, which makes it look thicker. Those wheels are very interesting!

Hello how are you ! !
I tell you it's technically all the mechanics of HUP but with tires 20 "that we had to restore the holes in the wheels , ie adapt 8 holes 6 holes .
The transfer case is the HUP .
The support is below the front bumper will be applied here because it is a transit legislation that so requests

Hello, how are you .
I tell you that after World War II Argentina I buy big plus sur among those who came much of ford , chevrolet , jeep willys and others, so you get the tires was not very difficult if I had to restore the holes in the same so that instead of 8 have 6.The wheels are 20 "wheels with 900 x 20 covered .
Greetings and thank you very much for the comments
