No, definately a C8AX. It has 6 stud wheels and the data plate listing it as an XH8448 fits nicely into This list.

Yes we got it, but please rub it in some more

How do you explain "chassis model C15441" on the data plate?

Sorry for asking silly questions, but Chevīs are not my strong point. . .

This now rings a bell - I'll have to check my pics but I think this is how the C8AX plates are stamped for some reason.

Sorry Hanno. I used "Read new posts", and came into the discussion at the bottom of page 6 and replied before I noticed that others had more kindly pointed out the discrepancy.

Who can explain Chev reasoning? It's a mystery why they (or DND perhaps?) would rate the C8AX as a 15cwt. Perhaps some HUP/HUW owners could share what their plates state. The real clue is the Chassis Serial, with 8448 ID'ing the C8AX.

You raised a good point, possibly NZ was looking to procure 15-cwt trucks, and only the 8-cwt chassis was available, so GM relabelled it as a 15-cwt?!?
