Ford F30 and F60S LAA tractors both in need of restoration

[maverick]

Having to do some real soul searching about my brace of laats, really don't think i will be doing much with this F30. So maybe wondering what its worth on todays market. Its was stood for a long time outside before i got it but underneath all is complete.

Would i be right in thinking this chassis is the same as used on the LRDG f30 trucks ?

No. LRDG trucks were cab 12 models. This is a cab 13 but wheelbase is the same.

Actually, most of the LRDG Fords were 11 cabs, despite the first batch arriving in March 1941. I have never heard mention of more F30's arriving, but there were possibly eight No 12 cab F8's and 20 F60's. Yes, I have done one of each of them too. Photos nearly always show hooks over front bumpers, Chev axles, pull switches on patrol trucks. See recent find by Kuno Gross on this web site. I'm just about finishing my second LRDG replica F30 patrol vehicle.
P.S. anyone need a LAA chassis and axles, plus wheels, I have a good one. Circa 1942/43 period.

Still looking for a home for this truck !

I have the bofors, and would love a truck like this. Shame it is on the wrong side of the pond.
