Stew you are WRONG! Ford and Chev are different as are the 11/12 to the 13 cab ones. They are however the same in Ford for the 15cwt to the 60cwt but different between 11/12 to 13 cab and the same applies to Chev.

God this is confusing

Libor from what little I could see of the doghouse in your #11 cab Ford resin kit it is incorrect as are the front hubs for a 2 wheel drive F15. Glad to see you are trying to correct this doghouse issue before making the 30cwt kit.

Libor I have rough drawings with measurements of the Ford 4 wheel drive chassis. The differences between the short (134in) and long (158in) chassis is a shorter difference in the length between the front - rear spring hanger and the large crossmember holding the transfer case. The SWB has one driveshaft and the LWB 2 with a fixed bearing at the join.

PM me your email address and I will send you what stuff I have which includes springand brake drum sizes as well as a scale drawing of the Ford chassis. May have measurements and drawings of the front drive axle as well.

Attached is a photo of my scratchbuilt 11 cab F60L (Aust) although I used the Tamiya Quad kit motor wheels and axles the cab is scratchbuilt as is the chassis and rear body.

There must be a more diplomatic way to say "You are wrong!"..... I just can't think how its done at the moment.

I sympathise with you Stew. (in your wrongness)

Lynn I know there has to be a better way to say it but I could not think of it and I was trying to be diplomatic and not rude to either Libor or Stew.

G.Day Libor,
Just to add to your confusion... And I can only speak on fords,
The cab 11 is different to the cab12 is different to the cab 13.
However, the differences in 11 vs 12 are very small, mounting differently but the same shape.
Happy to photograph both for you (dissembled) if you like but will not be able to post for a while as I an out of broadband!

Hey, Cliff, very nice model, but I don't see a hatch on your Australian F60 cab ......

PS: I looked up 'dog house' in my CMP parts lists and couldn't find it listed..... does it have a REAL name, per chance??

Come to think of it, was there ever such a thing as an F60L CAB 11 (Aust) ie an F60L cab 11 assembled in Australia, with Australian Army mods and with an Australian standard GS body?

I love a good debate, and this one will be interesting.......

Probably not Mike. I did this model as I owned a New Zealand F60 11 cab without the vents about 30 years ago. The model should have had an all steel rear body as per the factory specs but I like the wood of the Aussie versions.
