What is it? Answers on a postcard please :wink:

It’s a CCC Nahang. Nahang means ‘whale’ in Farsi (Persian). CCC built them specially for export to Iran, where they were popular because they were strong. They had ■■■■■■■ 290s in them and 9-speed Fuller gearboxes and were 6x4 a standard. Bit basic but I wouldn’t mind driving one!

I had never heard about CCC before! I reckon that the model specially built for Iran was produced prior to 1979? Can’t think of the Ayatollahs ordering trucks from the Yankees…

Hi all,
To my knowledge we’ve only ever had one CCC operating commercially in South Wales,it was also badged as an AM General.Pulled the big trailer at Walls Recovery from Newport,CAT powered,later exported to the Middle East…
