Cab11 F30S - border raiding

[lynx42]

Thank you all for your interest.

Andrew and Keith W, it is a sigs van front on the back of the C60L. There are another 8/9 blitzes in variour stages of decay around the yard. I took a lot of photos for you Keith with numbers where possible.

Cliff, I think this is more rare as it has the early lift rings on the front of the chassis and the chev diffs.

Keith O, good to hear from you Keith. Hows Dan?

Keith W. I'm sure it is a F30S as it is 134" WB and has small brakes on the front and it also has a 2 speed transfer-case.

Hanno, it is a good find and is relatively unmolested. Need a dog-box set though.

I did a walk around today and took some photos. Interesting to compare with my F60L cab12. there are so many differences.

I'll upload a few photos.
Regards Rick

Interesting that it has a glass rear window. Looks like it has been there since new.

The left headlight rim was nickel or chrome at some stage.

The right door handles are good but the left door is of a Cab12.

The battery holder lugs are both still there as well.

The hand brake mechanism is all there with it's cables to the rear wheels.

Both fuel tanks are saveable and complete with their taps etc.

One original mirror arm is quite OK.

The passenger seat is ok but only the runners for the drivers seat.

The right hand .303cal rifle holder brackets are there as well, but none on the left.

A modification to the track rod is interesting. Very well welded around the bends.

The choke nob is good also.

The door as the remains of a unit sign or two. There is both a triangle and a circle evident.

So now I have to work out how to get it off the trailer, onto wheels and into the protection of the shed.

Regards Rick.

A close-up of the lifting recovery rings attached to the chassis.

The spring bump stops are not too bad either.

The muffler looks a bit second-hand but at least it's the right sort, size and shape for reference.

I have one of those which came from a cab 12 chassis.
It looks like you have a two speed transfer case - are you sure it isn't a F60S rather than a F30 (there was no "S" used with the 30cwt version)

Keith,
I'm not 100% sure what I have.
After the early F30S, the "S" was dropped as there was no F30L.
I might have an F60S but the chassis is quite fine compared to my C60S. I'll do some measuring up tomorrow with the Cab12 F60L and the Cab 13 C60S.

Regards Rick.

Rick,

I thought they had a fixed mirror arm ... a tapered bit of steel with a 90 degree bend at the end for the mirror .

I spotted a cab 11 F15 4X2 at a clearance auction in Vic. 7 years ago.. sold for about $20 ... a club member attended the auction and didnt buy it

According to the picture in the parts book, you are right Mike. I think this mirror arm is a retro fit, but the bracket is what made me think it was an original arm.
