Default C60l

I'm going for Chevrolet - no roof hatch, bar across grille, round vents Fords had a shaped hole for the crank handle and Chevs had a larger round hole in the lower splash shield.

It looks like a bit of rough going for the F60L.(I say Ford because the radiator looks to have bevels to the sides.)

Regards Rick.

Chev or Ford?

Even in my country there are many CMPs working in rural areas.
It is a low cost truck and difficult to destroy.
Most lost their original engines in exchange for Diesel engines like the Perkins

Post-war, but still in service with the RAAF (note the front-Mounted exhaust on these C60X Refuellers):
