C-60X Recovered
Hello again,
I already posted some of these pictures so a couple of these may be a duplicate. I am amazed at the rear suspension and dual drive shaft set-up of the C-60X. The cab is in pretty rough shape but the the drive train and steering is intact and turning. As stated, it has the smaller 16" tires. It will be quite the beast with 20" tires on it. I will hopefully have more information when it is cleaned up a bit. Cheers, Richard

Photos of restored C60X
Hello Warren,
I would appreciate a copy of whatever photos you have of your C60X. Are they posted on previous MLU threads or do you have them posted to other internet locations? Cheers, Richard

Rich - no worries - Fred Reeves did the proper resto in 1994/95 and I've scanned all his photos of the project. I'll post them, if Fred doesn't mind - I'm sure he'll think it's great. I've had the C60X for about four years now - i've repainted the truck, fitted hood bows and new canvas and repaired the cargo body's floor - replacing the rotten floorboards. The truck was - we think - a RAAF tanker - Mike Cecil asked me to send him the chassis number -which I've yet to do. (sorry Mike!). It's fitted with a Studebaker cargo body - which according to Fred - fitted perfectly on the chassis the bolt holes lined up beautifully! Give me a dayu or so to locate the photos....

Rich - this is the C60X - the markings are from my Dad's squadron - 460 Squadron RAAF - Lancasters, Bomber Command. Even though I'm fairly certain his squadron never came within ten thousand miles of a C60X - Dad died only a few months before i bought the truck and I marked it up as a personal tribute I guess - so excuse my liberties on this one. The roundel above the headlight I copied from a photograph in the Australian War Memorial archive of a CMP in service with an Australian fighter squadron in Italy. The truck is terrific - I love it! I'll post more when I get home...

Finished C60X Pictures
Warren,
Your truck looks terrific! I have only seen black and white pictures of the C60X. and what a wonderful, functional tribute to your father. These museum pieces mean a lot more to people when they can move around. I am eager to see the other pictures...... Regards, Richard
