I think those ambulances are on a 158" wheelbase chassis as I can see spare wheels behind the cabs on two of them. regards, Richard

Would this be the 134-inch WB version? Never a dull moment with CMPs....

F60L with 16'' wheels?
Hi All,
I am ready to soon start on my Ford 3 ton 158'' wheel base ambulance and Rob Love mentioned to me that he heard of the F60L that had 16'' wheels.I have never found any actual reference to back this up and I am not sure If I asked Rob where he found this informaton.Has anybody heard of this for the F60L ambulance? Service publications has some excellent shots of the Ford ambulance box interiors,maybe contact Clive and get his disc,well worth the money! The picture you show are Chevy 3 tons with the round roof hatch,spare tire in between the cab and box and the engine crank guide riveted on the front bumper as identifiable signs. Regards,Derk.

Which Cab style is the 158wb ambulance
Hi Derk
Which cab style is your long wheelbase ambulance, Pat 12 or Pat 13? Reason I ask is that as I understand it 1942 was a transition period between Pattern 12 and Pattern 13. My 1941 Pat12 C60L originally had the 16" wheels and consequently the smaller brakes and front end but at the same time it was fitted at the factory with the winch which would make it a C60L. There are lots of photos of both long and short chassis Ambulances with the 16" wheels. Often difficult to see if they are Ford or Chevy. I remember reading that the smaller tires was to make loading stretchers easier, and that the Ambulances had softer springs to give them a softer ride. Wondering if the the same was true for the Fords. Keep us posted as you start your restoration. Cheers Phil
