Identification Help

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.

Keith .Yes you are right about the steering wheel , if I make the pictures the same size from my C15 ,and this picture , the steering is thicker on my C15.

Here is the radiator top I mentioned earlier. I know it's speculation, but to me the black spot in Bill's picture is too dark to just be a shadow (compare with shown on fender) and has to be an actual hole in the panel. A hole which could provide access to a filler cap as in the pic attached. Hole, not factory, but maybe field/post war mod(?)

The rad top in the picture attached came from a French C15. The complete rad is the original from my C8.

I am still betting on a 4x2; I agree with Rob's comment on the drivers leg, but what settles it for me is the position of the rear wheel when compared with the lower edge of the body. A 4x2 shows the top of the tyre about level with the lower edge of the body, or even slightly above the lower edge; A 4x4 shows the top line of the rear wheel below the lower edge of the body.

Wy should a radiator need 2 filling points ? 11/12 cab uses the rear version , maybe the other is a 13 cab version converted for use in 11/12 cab

Your guess is as good as mine, Maurice. Maybe it's a cab13 rad retrofitted to a cab 11 as you say.


I put Bill's picture in Google picture search to see if it appears on other websites and found it here:

This site shows another picture of a (the same?) cab 11, although the picture is mirrored. I corrected the orientation of the picture and attached it to this thread. C15 Cab11.
