Hi Everyone
The lighter steering box is mounted on a different front spring hanger casting to the heavier box. Some riveting involved to change them over so each size is probably determined in the factory rather than mix and match.

Attached are the relevant pages from the parts book for wheels and brake drums. You can draw your own conclusions. I hope they come up large enough to read.

Hi Terry

That's the type of information I was thinking of. Could you tell us what it says in the model line can't quite read the far right one using the 16" wheels.

Cheers Phil

I read the models as (left to right) blank, F8, blank, F15, F15A, blank, F30, F60S, F60L, F60H and FGT.

Looks like a conflict between the parts book and MBF1
I don't imagine a heavy six wheeler on 16"wheels.

I have a WW2 pic of an F60H Cab 11 with 16" wheels. It is not mine so I cannot share here but it existed.

I seem to remember the middle page of Wheels & Tracks no.34 shows an F60H wrecker with 16inch wheels, and and F60H with 16inch wheels is also mentioned in Barts "the Observers Military Fighting Vehicles".

Hello

Alex you have a good memory. In Wheels and Tracks number 34, the F60H in the center of the paper is described as having wheels with 16".

In an other domain I have examined the bible of all CMP collectors and BART VANDERVEN give some indications about the wheels used by FORD F60L or CHEVROLET C60L with ambulance body and even by F602L.

About the ambulance in FRANCE I know that in the museum of BAYEUX NORMANDY there is a CMP ambulance but I have not soon seen the truck.
Best regards Serge
