If you have not already done so, you may have to look into this further. Commercial vehicles which are plated under antique status are exempt from daily inspections or yearly inspections.
As for driver licensing, I am not clear on that. You are good to go anyhow with a class D, but I would suspect that the provision of antique status may exempt a person from this provision as well (vehicles over 4500kg) being used solely as personal transportation. At any rate, your truck does not have air brakes so at least a person could get away without the Z endorsement. I do know that the inspection portion is fact, as I just looked it up on the MTO website.

Hi Rich - sorry for the delay -been extremely busy this week. Attached are two photos - the c60x when I picked it up and partway through its rejuvenation at a local show. As you can see, the truck was all there - but some years of sitting in the weather was beginning to take its toll. Apart from painting it - canvas - floorboards etc - I just changed the oils, greased it, check the brakes - it runs beautifully.I've found the resto photos - I had them electronically but I'll scan them in again. Cheers W

Beautiful C-60X!
Warren,
Thanks for posting your pictures. Your truck looks stunning and I'm glad to hear that you run it. These vehicles need to be run to demonstrate their true capabilities. Whatever other pictures or images you have of the C-60X, I would appreciate a copy to assist me in my restoration. Guys, How many C or F-60X's do you think are out there in the world? Regards, Richard

Several years back there was a house type body which I think may have been from one of these trucks sitting in a yard in Manitoba. As I recall, the body was in excellent condition as it was up off the ground. Rob Love may be able to help and confirm yes or no as to its original configuration.

F60X - I expect none unless there was a prototype that somehow survived. (the Ford 3 ton 6 wheel trucks were the F60H, 6x4, last axle not driven)

C60x
Richard,
There is a very nicely restored C60X with a wrecker on it in Collingwood, Ontario, owned by Gary Cailes. I don't have Gary's contact info, perhaps someone who knows him would PM you with it. Brian

As far as I know, Chris, the MACH Body you spoke of in Manitoba is still alive and well: at least it was back in 2002. The paint work was pretty much gone the last time I saw it - basically complete surface rust. I knew the original owner very well and in the early 1980's, he opened it up for me to have a look at. It was virtually complete inside. There was a large lathe across the front with a stock feed hole on one side wall. All the lighting and blowers were in place, several other floor tools I cannot remember, work bench, stock stowage bins and racks and a large generator box with gen set inside, on the right side (rear corner I think). Underneath the box, the muffler system for the gen set was in excellent shape. As were the two rear tail light brackets and lamps.
He was using the rear stairs to access a building on his property but even they were in great shape after sitting outside since the late 1960's. The Body Tag on the lower left rear corner of the box was still in place but had been hit by something and flattened in just the wrong spot one could not ID which MACH Body Type was stamped on it. I asked the owner if he had purchased just the box, or if it had been part of a complete CMP vehicle. He said it had been a complete vehicle, but not a CMP. It came out of the Army with a Diamond T Cab and chassis set up under it. Somebody in a town south of him, just below the Trans Canada kept bugging him for the Diamond T and he eventually sold it, putting the box up on old fuel drums, which was a good thing since his land there floods from time to time in the spring. I know I have pictures of it somewhere. If and when I find them I will post. David

Hi David
This is exactly the body I was thinking of... I was pretty sure it was a CMP body and I think they mounted them on all kinds of trucks. It would be a nice set up to go on a C60X chassis if one had a C60X chassis...
