Nice looking truck! Looks like she's been sitting on flat tyres for a long time.

Did you manage to write down the data plate details?

Default Details

Thanks for that, Dennis.
I've added it to the database, the closest one I have to it is serial 9708 which was a cab 12 F60L, ARN 22955.
As for the tray it has a decidedly civvy look to it. The originals were built with a lot of timber but were shorter, with a space for the spare wheel carrier behind the cab.

Good day Dennis
What a beautiful straight looking truck congratulations on the find.Even a couple of the old tyres still holding air.It must have spent a lot of time in the shed where ever you got it from.
Cheers Ken
