Who has one of these vehicles handy and can take some detailed photographs of the hoist for a friend located new Albury who is restoring a Ford.

Keith

Need to be a bit careful: there are four different hoists and control lever set-ups.

Can your friend provide some images of what he has (even the cab lever config would be enough for ident purposes).

Default Tipper

Therein lies the problem... he has a rusty tipper body (not sure about the hoist) and a different F60S which was not a tipper. He had an ARN from the F60S, 57006 which was also marked "AIF L". I happened to have photographed that page from the AWM 126 series of ledgers and it was listed as a "truck, KTN", and disposed of back to FMC.

So if he has the steel body it won't be the first type, and I think the 4th type was on a Chevrolet chassis.

He's got a more interesting truck, though, a Kitchen! A GS base body decked out with cooking kit.

All steel tipper body was the No.4. I'll check the hoist type and get back to you....

Default Kitchen

Yes I thought that was what it stood for. Interesting how the F60S (and indeed C60S) were mostly used in specialist roles here.

It would be a challenging task to find a body to suit I'd think.

Keith,

His other 'problem' is the wheels: if he intends to build a tipper, the all-steel bodied No.4 had 8.25x20 all round, duals at rear, so he'd have to find a set of wheels and spacers as well: might be easier to locate/build an all-steel GS body! The wheels were Australian manufacture and quite specific to the vehicle type.

But a Kitchen ..... now that would be unique!

Good on you, Barrie: is it an all-steel tipper body with rounded bottom edges?
