Restoration update

Hi Bob

What I was saying was only the very early (1942) cab 13s here had wooden GS bodies (as well as wooden spare wheel carrier toolboxes) and these early Fords in particular had the lightweight steering as a hangover from cab 12 production. That is why for example Australian No 8 and 9 FGTs for example had light steering ends.
I have not heard of Aussie contract C60Ls in Canada like that - interesting...
I thought the only ones with 16" wheels were the 30cwt medium wheelbase vehicles used for ambulances. But interesting to hear about and you could be right assuming they were left-over production.
