C15A Restoration
Dear all,
I'm Rob from Italy and this is our last project on going: Chevrolet C15A. It comes from north Italy and, excluding some post war modification (CH4 propelled instead of gasoline) it's seems like a time capsule.

Thank you all for your support!
Me, my father and my brother are working (as an hobby) the best we can, using poor toolings but trying to do the best with the least possible We're not mechanics, only passionate And now a little wash, just to remove 70 years old mud

I forgot to say this: when we bought it, we cannot say if it runs or not.
There were no way to test it.... but, after a general check: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_xD6t4vOBQ
