That's a lovely picture, Bill.

I agree with Rob....4x2 Cab 11 C15 or F15. Is that a hole to gain access to the rad filler cap? I have the top of a C15 radiator here, with a (second) filler cap in that location....so a Chev in Dutch service?

Also note the headlight has been replaced by a smaller example and the doors have been removed.

Fords had the filler cap sticking up through the radiator shroud but with Chevs you had to remove the hood to get at the cap. With a Ford you wouldn't need to make outside access to the cap but on Chevs it might be a nice addition, so I'm betting it would be a Chev.

Thanks very much to all of you for the help.

I have passed the information on to my Indonesian friend.

If i hold a picture from my C15 next to this picture , it looks higher , so I think it is a C15A . The "hole" in the radiator schroud could also be a shade , no chev or Ford have a hole in that position.

I was guessing at 2 wheel drive because the driver is sitting in the cab with what appears to be one foot resting on the ground. Either he has very long legs or it is a low truck.

I think the thin steering wheel makes it a Ford. The Chev black steering wheels were noticeably thicker than the Ford ones.
