16" wheels on C60L
The 16" wheels won't fit on the large brake drums that are fitted on the 6" steering ends, so this truck must have the smaller drums with 4 7/8" steering. This means this truck either has had the front axle swapped over at some time, or it is like my F60L and described in the parts book as "as supplied to Indian Army". I don't think they were all part of the Indian Army's fleet, just that there is a specification for a lighter front end in some trucks. Even with the light front axle, though, they were still fitted with 10.50-20 wheels.
