What about this one Keith? I had assumed it was a tanker initially, but no tanker I've seen has a full length support structure like that seen here. It bears some resemblance to the Derrick/Engineers Lorry body, and the rear chassis has been extended in the usual manner seen on many Australian F60L tray trucks, but by a much lesser amount, which happens to be the required amount to install a spare wheel carrier. This is the only F60S I've come across with the chassis extension, so I'm wondering if that was the purpose, given that the Derrick/Engineers Lorry carries the spare wheel in the body. However this F60S lacks a PTO for the winch, so I'm rather confused as to it's identity! ARN is 208140 and I've been meaning to ask Mike if he has any record.

Interesting as the main purpose of the chassis extension on the long wheelbase CMPs was to help with the turning circle with a trailer.
The obvious question is whether the structure on the back is original.
