That's an interesting C8AX! The front axle and the chassis rails are the heavier version found on either a C15A or CGT Portee (the 20" wheels tend towards it being a Portee), and the front bumper has the vertical tow rings, unlike the horizontal type found on a C8AX. I wonder if someone has used the cab13 from a C8AX to "update" a poor condition Portee? Is the transfer case a single speed, or a two speed? Single would indicate a C15A chassis, while a two speed would be from a Portee.
It's still good, though, to be able to record the C8AX data plate.
