Truck, tipping 2 1/2 cubic yards Aust

Yes I thought that was what it stood for. Interesting how the F60S (and indeed C60S) were mostly used in specialist roles here.

It would be a challenging task to find a body to suit I'd think.

Keith,

His other 'problem' is the wheels: if he intends to build a tipper, the all-steel bodied No.4 had 8.25x20 all round, duals at rear, so he'd have to find a set of wheels and spacers as well: might be easier to locate/build an all-steel GS body! The wheels were Australian manufacture and quite specific to the vehicle type.

But a Kitchen ..... now that would be unique!

Keith,

The tipper hoists were:
Ford Nos 1 & 2: fitted with Olding or Malcolm Moore hoists.
Ford No.3 (also a steel bodied tipper) fitted with G-Well hoist,
Chev No.4 fitted with Trojan hoist.

Each one had a unique chassis mounting and cab control set-up.

So I suppose he's looking for a G-Well hoist to go with his all-steel tipper body on a Ford chassis.....

but I still like the idea of a Kitchen better!!

I like the idea of that too... but will pass on the details to him.

Thanks for the research!

My Chev C60S 2 1/2 CU YDS Tipper No#4 has a GMH "Commercial Body'' mounted to it, not sure about the hoist within the chassis.
It was made in 4-4-45 Aust M (Melbourne?)
It has 20" split rims on the rear and the offset rims on the front with spacers, the previous owner also produced a few spare 20"rims when I bought it.

Ahh Darrin,
The truck being fitted with the tipper that belongs to Keiths friend is that Ford you were interested in at Bethanga a few years ago.

Hey, Richard, tell him he needs to build it up to what it was ...... a Kitchen. Between you and Keith, you might just convince him of the merits of a true 'restoration' ....
