Thanks everibody for the precious help, I've downloaded the pdfs and the pics.
Cliff, a few minutes ago a friend of mine brought me a bunch of copies of old articles taken from scale model magazines often including 1/32 and 1/35 drawings 60Ls. I've also bought from Hubert Cance some 1/35 scale drawings of a ford 15A. I put the Tamiya cab against them and I noticed that:
  • it's quite smaller than the 1/32 sketch (Model World Sep 1973)
  • sometimes it perfectly matches the 1/35 drawings (Ciro models F60L - resin conversion, Converting a Quad - Military Modelling Jan & Feb 1977, MAFVA 2175 March 1999)
  • it's some 3mm wider than Mr. Cance's drawings
I'll check the pics that you've kindly posted (by the way when did you leave Imperial to switch to metric?) hoping to solve the issue.
Is the chassis drawing you posted from a C60L? If so I can spot some differences between it and the F60L I've found on this very Forum. Any chance to have a bigger scan (because enlarging it to scale will end up in a very poor quality image)?
So I think that the only point left open is the one concerining the body (or the bodies).
Thanks once more for your help!
