After I got them home and started to look at them properly, the C60 had been in-fact a C15 Sig van chassis that was chopped and extended.
I decided to take the front axle from this and fit it to the good C15 Sig chassis that had a strange front axle

I did not realise at that time the cab on this extended chassis was also from a chopped sig van
The cab floor and the nose section is in reasonable condition
The top of the cab had been beaten into a semi-rounded shape
The dash is ruined but a few switch tags and the ignition switch will be usable

I had that spare Chevy engine
I kept a lookout for transmissions, and maybe a better Cab

Then I had asked around to locate a reasonable C60 chassis

This is the reason why I found the chevys in the trees as posted above

Chassis count - four- maybe two are good to make trucks, a sig chassis and a C60

And that cut and shut long chassis, mmm, chop it back short, add a turntable and voila - dog trailer, 16 inch on front 20 inch on back
Did I see a big box off an ambulance in a paddock somewhere? thats got me thinking

And I was learning fast about blitz trucks
1st lesson - This is not the way to build a cheep truck
