F60H &/or C60X info needed

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Keith, you have put me to proof as to whether I had any hard evidence that there were indeed some F60H trucks used by Austrakian forces. I always thought that there were some # 13 Cab Wreckers used, although I cannot now find any confirmation! I know of the Indian contracts and the Canadian DND papers rather confirm that India received the last of the F60H chassis produced and well after Canada had dropped the design in favour of the C60X.

I have checked my Norm Darwin Ford book and there was nothing in there...all I have is an official Canadian photo of a F60H Wrecker, 1942 Model, that came out of Australia.

My problem is that there were no known British orders for F60H chassis, i.e. for UK delivery, but the Brits did purchase for the Indian Army and it is possible that they purchased some for Mid-East delivery, then issued some to the AIF. Otherwise all Canadian orders for overseas were for UK assembly, e.g. with British bodies.
