Also, Ganmain Tony has all-but completed his F60L 12 cab and will be an excellent source of info for you. He's a bit of a barstard but handy to know.
It is good to see another 12 cab rear it's head... What is the history of your truck, where did it come from, how did you come to be it's custodian?
Most importantly... POST PHOTOS as most members here have trouble reading.
Cheers, H

It's not that we have trouble reading over here, it's the fact we pomms might drop the fish n chips and spill our tea while having dinner with the queen queen AND get to read at the same time!!!!
It's better than being down under (down under what exactly baffles me!!) Staring at a field full of sheep and looking for the "cute one with blue eyes"!!!

North West UK .... that would be Stornoway on the Island of Lewis, would it? Place where the winds blow and the sun rarely shines....

Terra Australis: the GREAT Southern Land 'down under' the globe. Any more south, and you'd be in Antarctica (snow, ice, wind, kinda like 'Nor'west UK', I believe.....)

The sheep thing: I think you're getting Aussies mixed up with New Zealanders (couple of moderate sized islands that have a propensity to shake. Next country to the right and a little bit south of Oz... lots of clouds, apparently, hence the name)

What's the chassis number of your Cab 12, Shane? (or have you got it recorded, Keith??)

Serial 17192

Paul,
I Never insinuated any nationality in particular had trouble reading, interesting that you nominated yourself...
And by the way, as Mike pointed out, it is the kiwis that know their Shep by name. Here in the Oz bush, we tend to eye of the odd poddy calf. The reason? Maybe one day I'll tell you over a beer our two. Not here on the forum ,
So, less get back to Jason's truck... Tell us more, and post some photos!

Paul, If Howard were completely honest, he'd tell you that sheep have green eyes.

[Shane]

Oh i thought you lads were going to help new members, maybe if i let you in on a little secret. As told by a kiwi, if you put the sheep next to a cliff they always push back harder I think im going to get along with MLU very well. Oh by the way have bought new feet for my truck 1.2h for $160 each. If anyone in Adelaide can fit the brake lines would love to hear from you. Cheers Shane

Shane,....BTW, I'm a kiwi

Shane,

Your F60L Cab 12 was part of a large British order, SM2037, of which Australia received 1,750 F60Ls under the Aust contract Demand CD-E-3909 as 'Cab/Chassis'. This means they were equipped with bodies locally. Your truck should have the Australian roof hatch welded into the roof. CD-E 3909 also covered a range of truck spares, tyres, flaps and tubes, too, from several sources.

I have no record of that chassis/engine number, but those early orders had numbers all over the place and all jumbled up, so not an easy one to locate (ie for example '2G37711F might be followed by 2G50467F, or 2G29409F, etc - no 'pattern' to provide an area to look at)

Does the bodywork still have paint on it? If so, carefully sand off the areas below the w/screen to see if any of the registration number has survived.
