Have you measured the wheelbase? Does the work in moving the diff forward look homemade or possibly factory?

8444 is the chassis code for a C15A with a 101" wheelbase. A C15A should have 16" wheels, but those 20's look very much at home on that truck. The cab is set up for Australian canvas doors. With the presence of the winch and the absence of a roof, this could possibly be mistaken for a Gun Tractor, although a Gun Tractor chassis should be 8440 and that cab set up for canvas doors rules it out.

Nice to see good trucks can still be found in the bracken fern!
