F60T and F602L
 

I have purchased two prints from the IWM of a F6-T + semi-trailer and also a F602L tanker.

Has anyone ever come across any official Canadian paperwork on the origins of the F60T, and also the reason for replacing the FC60s and FC60L with the # 13 Cab F602S and F602L? I assume that the latter was commonality .. and also saving time & money on cabs.

Tanker trailer....

Did Holden's and Australian Ford both produce Tractor units for Australian use?

Re: And the F60T
 

Yes, we had our own versions of tractors as well as various semi-trailers. The tractors were all based on the 134" wheelbase types. I've never seen a F60T here, although I do know of a workshop manual here, and I have a drivers handbook.

Tractor and Semi-trailer
 

134" Tractor. Note the 2 spare tyres as the trailer ran on 18" rims! This trailer bears a resemblance to a picture of a vehicle posted by Eric Nuyt of a Bus/coach combo rebuilt in NEI.

Photos?
 

Any chance of a decent TIF copy of any official shots of either the Holden C60S or Aussie Ford F60S tractor-trailers please?

The chassis layout for the F60T.

Tony's image comes from the DMV book which, although it covers most of the Aussie CMP types (and is a rare book) suffers from poor quality reproduction of the images.

For example this shot of a LP6 arty tractor:
