Rick,

Do you mean either your 1940 F30S Cab11 or 1941 F60L Cab12 is for sale ?

I'm sure Rick can arrange shipping to Holland for both of them. :devil:

NORTHAM! About an hour east out of Perth. Not that much closer though.

Anyone else here interested?

Chev engine
 

Searching my memory I seem to recall a bias toward engines of the flathead variety... Next? You'll be buying a Holden!

Well that would be an historic event in more ways than one. RIP-GMH.

Good Luck H.

Blitz and Pieces
 

What's going on here? Did all these Blitz and other HMV owners make the same new years resolution to tidy up the place or dispose of unwanted machinery? Weird.

Going on a limb here, but was this one a gun tractor?

Looks very sort and the cut rear cab? If not, what might it have been being so short (shortened?).

Cheers,
Ian.

not GT
 

Ian,
Looks more like a F60L or F60s cut down, GT's don't have over load springs or small fuel tanks. going by the plating down the chassis rails I suspect more cut down than GT.

Yes this one had my FGT antennae twitching too Ian and I put in a call to the seller. Unfortunately it's already sold but it hasn't been picked up yet so I'm hoping to identify it when he gets home.

Normally I'd agree with Euan that it's a cut down F60S/L, but in this case I reckon it's a 15cwt chassis that has broken its back and had to be shortened. That would account for the fuel tank being moved forward, and it would make sense to move the rear fuel tank mount forward to the FGT set of holes, which is where it is on this vehicle. It's possible the crane had to be moved back to clear the cab as well, which might account for the overhang at the rear. There's no reason to cut down a F60S/L chassis so drastically and create all this extra work. Auxiliary spring hangers have been bolted on, so we can't draw any conclusions there.

Statistically speaking it's more likely to be F15A with a retrofit winch than a FGT, and while the home made cab may raise suspicions, it's not EVIDENCE of FGT. I've been trying to identify the front step mount, which is slightly different on FGTs, but it's very difficult with these low res photos. Anyway I'm unable to rule it out as a FGT so here's hoping!

Hi Euan and Tony,

Thanks guys! I thought it worth asking given the few clues I saw, but being (as the little slogan says below my name) a jeep guy in a CMP world, I am still learning and this one and both of your responses has helped me learn a lot!

Cheers,
Ian.

Do I recall a MLU thread on this vehicle before?

Nevertheless I'm now convinced it's a FGT, based on the fuel tank brackets, which are both in the FGT position. In other words it hasn't been shortened, it's just a FGT with a 12 gallon fuel tank. That's why there's no rear step mount, which you'd expect on a F15A. There are other indications too but they're nowhere near as conclusive, eg. the cab of course, and the presence of CMP rear fairlead pulleys on the crane, and possibly the top plate still on the chassis. Unfortunately the rear crossmembers have gone to make way for the cable apparatus, but I'm expecting the glovebox to be there which will provide confirmation when I finally get onto the seller. If the front shell has been changed the bifurcated crossmember will confirm the chassis as FGT.

Detective work
 

Love the detective work based on a couple of crappy photographs, but your observations make sense Tony. If you do visit it and establish FGT lineage the next task is to either find the ARN or a chassis (engine) number.

You don't know the half of it Keith, you wouldn't believe the lengths I've gone to trying to confirm that bloody front step mount!

Unfortunately this vehicle is 1,322 km away in the middle of the Eyre Peninsula, so I'm unable to visit it with emery and bucket of water in hand. Even more unfortunately it's already been sold, so I'll have to chase up the new owner. However it hasn't been picked up yet so I'm hoping to confirm it as FGT with the seller before it goes. I shall keep you posted....
