MCC model codes , I know some of it .

C = the 1933 C series range of MCC trucks . The military models were based ( to varying degrees ) on the C series range of civilian model vehicles .

S = 6 cylinder motor .. some civilian and military models had a 6 cyl. eg CS = C series with 6 cyl engine .

11= Approx. 11 feet wheelbase . They rounded off the wheelbase eg. CS8 has a 8' 2" wheelbase . CS11 has approx. 11 ' wheelbase .

Hope this helps

Mike
