The one in the pictures has had the back of the chassis docked off. The driver handbook shows a normal full Ford CMP chassis.

Is this what it should look like?

I don't like the 'bobbed' look.

Not on CMPs, hair......or even a cat!

Yes, like a standard CMP with the fishplates.

Here's the cover of the handbook:

With regards to the chassis drawing above. The crossmember that sits across the front most rear spring hanger, is it an optical illusion, or is it actually crooked? As in left side looks further back than right side. May be that angled line right near it making it look that way!?!?!?

Actually, the whole rear axle looks crooked too

I think it's an optical illusion. Do you have the handbook?

Hi,
I finish a project related to Ford F60T. I have a problem with attachment to the trailer. I do not have any drawings or pictures that show it would be mount. I ask you for help. Maybe in this book are some drawings.
By the way I do not have the original tanks. Can You tell me the something about dimensions? Maybe it is in this book ...
Best Regards
Zbyszko
P.S. It,s my Ford

These are the only photos I have, but you would need to have the turntable confirmed as correct / original. Never seen one in real life.

Thank You for this information. Do you have this book or contact Keith Webb.
Maybe he's still the book ...

Hi Tony,
Here is an Aussie Chev Blitz and semi-trailer that was at Corowa in 2013. Sorry no photo of 5th wheel arrangement.

regards, Richard
