If that plate is original to that truck, it would suggest the 11-cab C15 is quite a bit lighter than the equivalent 13-cab. But what I find odd is the gross weight. 8500 lbs is (according to the MB-C1) the gross weight for the C15-A. Did the C15 and C15-A have the same gross weight rating in 'early' production?

I would think Owen that the C15 must be lighter as it has the front beam axle as opposed to the heavy cast diff unit of the C15A also the C15 will not have the 4x4 transfer case fitted. Mikes comment is interesting I wonder why that should be ?.
