I thought that all Austrian Cab 12 had those braces to hold the roofs on at high speed. in the Southern Hemisphere they have enough open space to get a Cab 12 up to it's terminal velocity. First time my Cab 12 hit 50 mph (on the car hauler coming home) the roof pealed back from the windshield. Did that happen to you too when hauling one home? I do want add that the truck is a true find, glad to hear you guys will keep an eye on it to be sure it doesn't slip away.

That's not fair showing someone from a CMP poor country the riches of Australia, every time I see a wonderful find like that I drool. But please keep showing us what we are missing out on. Sorry for the leaving out a few letters in Australia spell check said it was OK Only reason the roofs peal back up here is tacks that hold the roof to wood have rusted away and the wood has rotted away. Cheers Phil

Hi Keith
Looking at the pictures in the link for your F60L is that a bullet hole coming out the back of the headlight? Also after 18:00 hours GMT the my spelling is likely to be impaired. Sun has fallen below the yardarm and the cocktail hour has begun. Cheers Phil

Keith
are you game to take the 12 cab home yet or are you restoring it where it is? the Ganmain claim for cab 12's has a little way to go yet but they better be careful that Andrew from Dubbo doesn't out do them. If you dare to take a photo of me (Kathy) in a blitz I will tell on you ![]() Gues what the temp has just gone up to today, it is now 6.8 after being only 4.9 at 1pm. Max |

G'Day Chaps,
Another one found at a secret location on my way home from a secret location. This is the best unrestored 12 cab I have ever seen! Photo0016.jpeg Photo0019.jpeg Data plate says "F60S" however looks more like a "L" chassis. The shed was very dark & I only had my phone to take the snaps. I could not see under the truck properly but as far as I can see the only things missing are the mirrors, the Ford script on the dash and the bonnet badge. The truck was bought ex fire service in running condition in the '70s & has been parked in the same spot since. The owner has plans to restore it upon retirement in a few years time. The TAC signage has remained in good nick, too, as it was fitted back-to-front and therefore escaped the two or thee coats of paint that the rest of the truck has copped. Speaking of paint, the inside & underside paint is a much darker shade of green, indicating post-war service??

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Both headlights have suffered the same treatment. ![]() ![]() ![]() And no... not enough blitz points here yet to do that. Also Chris' F15 is going first - that will be getting the finishing touches here soon as Euan's brother Stuart is bringing the sunshine roof parts here in a couple of weeks so they can be duplicated along with the rear cab curtain.

![]() There's a tiny amount of rust in the doors as well. Originally it seems it had a machinery workshop which of course has long gone, AND the engine has had water in it.
