Ford f60h
Hello
I's the first time a see such truck with these kind of load. It's seems to be a FORD CANADA F60H with the last axle non driving and a frame of 134 inches and a cab number 11. These trucks were used with technical body or bridge layer or with a HOLMES cranes; If you are interessed I own pic of each kind of body used by these trucks |

About 30 years ago, I bought a copy of that photo taken from the original negative, along with a couple more from another nearby village from a guy with a stall at a local show. When magnified there is a lot of detail in them. This collection that you linked to now belong to Rex Cadman under the War & Peace name. I have driven my Bedford QL down that street many times. regards, Richard |
Rob, Hanno, Richard,
Thanks for the source and additional info. Lovely to see a rare picture of an F60H in action.....and also good to see another example of the census number on the doors painted at an angle! by the way....amazing to see that the street hasn't changed a bit! Alex |
