Although advertised as an F15A, I think this is an F30 or F60S?
Note longer wheel base and the helper springs on the back axle?

Now in MilWeb, too:

Ford Canada F15a

One of the pictures added on the gaf92.nl site shows the chassis is straight at the back instead of tapering upwards like on a proper F15A. So what is this, an F30, F60S (shortened F60L)?!?

Maurice heard about some shortened F60L chassis/cabs surfacing a few years ago. So that's probably what this is.

Also, the pic below shows it has a "heavy" type steering box and only one gas tank (ex-FAT?).

There is at least one of these shortened F60L's with one of our forum members in Holland. But, doesn't an F60L have "tapering" chassis rails as well? The frame on this example seems to be straight right from the cab to the rear of the truck. Or would they have cut it right in front of the tapering section? Seems too long in the pictures to do that....
Does a FAT have a tapering chassis rails as well? Or straight like a C60X for instance?
Fuel tank seems to be of the larger FAT/C60X type indeed. What about a lenghtened FAT?

Alex

p.s. Hanno, I mentioned the bumper could be from a LAAT or FAT because of the bolts to fit the winch fairleads, but it seems all sorts of Cab 13 Fords had this bumper fitted from the factory.

Alex, AFAIK both the long and short chassis had tapered rear ends - see attached pics from Keith's web page www.oldcmp.net/Lloyd_Cab12_FGT_1.html

Is seems the Belgian one is indeed a shortened F60L, the chassis being lobbed before the point where the side rails taper upwards.

Could this one of them? It hails from Belgium, too.

about 2000 Euro for a frame with springs axles and wheels?

Is that a C15TA front axle?

C15TA or Otter, yes I think you are right.

No longer on MilWeb.net nor gaf92.nl, so I guess it has been sold. Interested to know where it ended up, would like to see it in the metal one day to see what is was originally.

BTW, Chevrolet chassis have straight chassis rails:

Would/could it be a good buy?

[Maurice Donckers]

would it be a good buy ? hmm but I think it is not a15cwt , fuel tanks are different , and body is not from this vehicle , chassis might even be changed , more pictures could reveal maybe more.

Yes, the heavy steering box doesn't normally belong on a F15A...

Scroll up to the top of this page - earlier on we discussed this is probably a shortened F60L.
