The Chev is certainly an interesting mixture of features.
The fairleads on the bumper suggest a winch. It's not immediately obvious why they would want to carry the weight of a winch on a heavily loaded truck.
The front wheels are offset to be common with dual rear wheels (also seen on Australian tippers).
I'm more used to seeing Ford as the tractor unit for semi-trailer (F60T variant, but I don't recall a C60T - but I wouldn't dare say it wasn't normal production without more checking).
My first impression is that the wheelbase may be longer than the F60T.
Overall, I wonder if this is a case of available components being mixed - cab and chassis from a C60 GS (with winch) and an available coupling and trailer. Speculation but a possibility.
